Minority Report still image

         


The subject in this still image is the main focus in this shot  is John and Agatha. Parts that draw my eye would be how he's holding her, just from this shot I can tell that he is literally supporter her, and without him there she would fall. They are the only ones not blurry in this photo. Everything around them is blurry and out of focus. Because of that my eye automatically is drawn to John and Agatha. John and Agatha are centered around this blurry mess. This image wants us to think how fast they are going, literally and figuratively. They are actually moving fast because they are running. But also i think it's representing how Agatha's mind works. Her brain is moving so fast because she's surrounded  by all these people and she knows their fate.  She also hasn't been outside the pre crime lab, so now she's conscious and trying to absorb what is happening and she is seeing things she is not used to. In the back of this still image the lighting is darker, there are shadows in the back. There is more light in the front like surrounding John and Agatha again drawing attention to them. I think the light is surrounding them because together they are finally finding the truth. John finds his truth that he is not a killer and the whole murder was set up, and he never would've known about any of it if it weren't for Agatha. Also without Agatha he probably would've killed leo. But Agatha kept telling him he had a choice. Without John Agatha never would have known that pre crime was flawed and she never would have found out what really happened to her mother. Without John finding out that pre crime is flawed Agatha at the end of the movie wouldn't have been in a peaceful cottage but she would've been back in the lab. So they brought out the truth with in each other. This shot I would have to say is a medium shot because it is from their waste up and you can see some of the background. It is Important that it is a medium shot because then we can see Agatha leaning against john and john having to hold her up. If it was just a close up on their faces we would see Johns face looking determined and Agatha's looking scared. But that wouldn't have been enough. The fact that we see John grabbing onto Agatha adds so much more to the shot. It shows that without John there Agatha wouldn't be able to survive being out of the pre rime lab for the first time. And it shows that John really needs her help by the way he's grabbing onto her so tightly. The medium shot really captures how much they need each other and how much they work off each other.  You can clearly see John's watch in this shot. In this movie time was important, John had a certain amount of time until he was "destined" to kill leo crow. And now in this shot time is moving so fast. They have so much to do, and so little time because at any minute pre crime was going to find John.

  2. Max: I really like your comments about the pacing of this image. Here's my favorite part of your post: "But also i think it's representing how Agatha's mind works. Her brain is moving so fast because she's surrounded by all these people and she knows their fate."

    Here are a few suggestions: how can you better "hook" your reader at the start of your post? In addition, make sure you proofread carefully! There are quite a few editing errors in your post.
