Image Analysis
Doom 3 is a first person shooter, which has been an iconic game withing first person shooters, what with doom 1 been one of the first of its kind, from the look you can tell its based in the future in a kind of sci fi / spaceship. You can clearly tell the on kind of horror atmosphere, what with the kind of spider like monster within the game and the kind of dark and colours used within such as blacks and greys been apropiat for the feel there aiming for and is set in a a very contained area, providind the impact of claustaphobia and not much room to escape providing a challenge with the fight against the monster telling you its a game, also the desertion impact and the feel of you been all alone.
From the image taken from in game and that you are playing, we can tell this thanks to the amount of infomation you are provided with on the screen such as the health value, what weapon you are using and how many bullets you have remaining which are displayed in 2d format.
You can tell that the camera angle been used that first person view is really suitable for this type of game what with it been a shooting game as it provides you an excellent view to what you are aiming at and can see what is aproaching you with ease, You can also be informed that this game is suitable for older teens / adults due to the form of violence and monsters seen within.
The above image, is from the film Benjamin Button, the brief outline of the story is that he is born in reverse, meaning that he is born as an elderly person but as he grows up / down he begins to look younger and more healthy, just the reverse cycle.
From this image you are provided with infomation as to that Benjamin is starting to gain strength and become healthier / younger. You are provided infomation of this what with his ability to flex his muscles and his muscles seem more toned than earlier scenes. He is also able to stand up straight and look straight into the mirror and he generally looks a alot younger. The fact that you are given an overshot, informs you that it is Benjamin looking at himself in the mirror, the fact hes' looking at the mirror and posing demonstrates he has a lot more confidence in himself as you dont generall pose infron of a mirror unless your confident / happy with your image.Also The tone of thescene is pretty steady composing of a light lit mood to engage the viewers of how he is still Benjamin Button and not suggest that of another character from before but he is beginning to improve with each day gaining the much needed light.
The image is taken from the 1922 German Film Nosferatu of the main character which is called Nosferatu, this is taken from an horror film as its clear thanks to the dark graphics, and the image of a shadow figure, and it shows signs of trying to create a suspense hence you cant see the charcter, only its shadow, Also the use of sharp mishaped fingers and body u sense a gruesome charcater. You can tell that the chatcter is moving upstairs potentially to seek on a victim what with the shadow of the stairs included. you can also sense he is creeping up the stairs, trying not show any presence of him been there.
With the camera angle been viewed perfectly to show most of the character, and with morealsee all of his figure been included with the shot this allows viewers what to expect next, as you can tell from the way he is shot that he is creeping upstairs. You can also tell the audince is clearly adult based due to the dark setting and chilling atmosphere shown within this image, and the way it engrosses you within.
Taken from the James Bond franchise, the iconic opening titles are some of the best title sequences around and one which you automatically know its James Bond , ranging from the first to last film, whether or not your a fan you will know its the opening to a James Bond film, the scene captures the whole feel of the film what with James bond been an agent and the way he shoots towards the screen. and the way it looks as if your looking through a gun aim about to shoot informs of a violent / gun film
It all suggests from the image above that James Bond is the main chracter and one who everyone is gunning down, and is given this kind of smooth apeal who is always on target, both with his gun and the ladies, and the way your it feels your looking down a barrel suggests hes the one to watch within the film, and the way he kinda shoots towards suggest no one can touch him. Obviously you are informed of a teenage mature film, what with the use of guns, blood and so on.
I found this a very useful excercise, It nid of gives you an insight into creating an atmosphere such as if your going for a horror feel, very dark unlit rooms, that feel of claustophobia. Something I can dfinatly take into future projects. Definaltly the latest project I did in which I had to create a scene for a gaming environment, which I used oposite to Doom and Nosferatu atmosphere and feel. What with it been an environment for the younger apeal these were the kind of things I had to consider into creating my game.
