Ness' Transformation

Ness started off as a very charismatic, enthusiastic, and overall a good samaritan  until he meets Phyllis. Upon seeing Phyllis, he is instantly captured by her looks. In the first shot of his expression of Phyllis, it is obvious Neff is lusting for Phyllis. The downward medium shot shows just enough of Neff to understand his facial expressions while demeaning him, almost as if he were a pet dog to Phyllis and glad to see his owner. The lighting on his entire body suggests there is a purity to Neff, which is entirely true before he gets infected by Phyllis. 

After killing Mr. Dietrichson, Ness becomes very paranoid of what can happen, and ultimately loses his affection towards Phyllis. In this scene, his entire face is covered by darkness, without the smirk he had towards Phyllis when he first saw her. The lighting is very important because unlike the previous shot, Ness is completely dark, which could mean he's lost his purity. The medium length shot is important because it shows  both Ness and Phyllis. This is important because it shows the lack of Ness' interest in Phyllis, maybe showing his realization of what he's done.

I couldn't find the last picture, but I was looking for a picture of Ness after he got shot, while holding Phyllis. I believe this scene was important because this scene was done in completely pitch black, maybe signifying Ness has completely fallen, unable to return to his pure life from before. This is the final part of his transformation, where it shows Ness transforming from a pure man, to a murderer and adulterous. 

Frames, Frames, and more Frames

Although the door is in the lazy frame, it is fully lit up, unlike anything else on the photo making it the focus of the photo. This shows the lazy frame can sometimes have the subject.

I'm not sure if you can see it, but there's a piggy bank right next to my desktop's tower, behind my sub woofer. I intended to make it immediately to the left of the lazy frame so it illuminates with my computer's blue LED's, but it didn't work out too well and my tower is more the subject of the photo.

The lazy frame contains a plastic fruit ornament, showing its lack of importance, compared to the contrast between the yellow walls and the blue lighting of my room.  The cross sections of all frame lines have no clear subject, except for the middle left cross sections, where there is contrast, making the watcher focus on the room.

Sorry about the lighting, I once again forgot about the assignment so the only time I could really go outside to take a photo was in the dead of night. The lazy frame itself is in pitch black, where only the nocturnal light illuminates itself and the wall beside it. The lighting is directly on the hypothetical cross sections of two scene lines. This creates one's eyes to focus on the lighting, causing it to be the picture's focus.

 Sorry once again for the lightning, but a tree trunk blocks out the lazy frame, but the horizontal middle frames of the picture, where the road is present, is lit up. That and my neighbor's window, making all the middle frames but the lazy frame the focus in the picture.

This shot probably took the longest and was painful to do... Nothing really resides in the lazy frame, but on the right of the lazy frame my face is visible as a reflection, making it the focus of this shot. This lies on the hypothetical cross section of two frame lines.

Fate

Fate is portrayed as the inescapable truth in both Oedipus and Minority Report, where as the oracles stated, Oedipus married his mother and killed his father, while in Minority Report John killed the murderer of his son. I do not believe in fate, for all the actions we are making are not predetermined, but cause a series of random actions. If there was a combination of both fate and free will, what would the purpose of fate be? Fate is a set path that nobody can alter, but if you add free will into there it just contradicts the entire idea of fate. I believe everything I have done is a string of random events, where everything randomly happens, from the steps i take to the people I talk to, none of it can be predetermined. Ultimately, fate does not exist and all of our present actions sets forward a potential path, which we can take or make other decisions not to.

Favorite Movie

My favorite movie is The Avengers because the movie reflected Marvel's heroes very well. Although the storyline and the hero cast are very different from the original avengers, I still enjoyed it.
