Part II: Mise-en-scene & Part III: Cinematography Analysis


This is a an image from the show Spartacus Blood and Sand. This shot gives a good description on lighting from the sun. This is the last episode in this season and the beginning of the war between slaves and nobility in this show. The sun draws your eyes up on Spartacus as he attempts to kill his master.

This scene from Continuum show a good portray of decor. This is the first time Kiera goes back in time to attempt to save the future. It really sets the mood in the whole series with all the destruction in the background as Kiera first realizes where she is and what she must do.






This shot in Arrow is a good example of low key lighting. This is the first time in the show where you see the vigilante and he eliminates three bad people. This shot shows that even though Oliver, the vigilante, is doing this out of good, it is still dark which is why setting this shot low key works in the way they are trying to portray his character.



This is a scene shot from the show Dexter. As you can see this is an example of high key lighting as it focuses on Detective Quinn as he sees Dexter looking at him as he is seen pocketing a wad of cash from a crime scene.






This is a scene from The Walking dead. This is the beginning of the apocalypse when Rick first wakes up from his injuries in the middle of the apocalypse. He has no idea what is going on and rides through the city finding out that its abandoned with military vehicles there as well. Also gives the meaning of the path as Rick is riding down the road the never ends.








This is a scene from Arrow when John first join Oliver in the fight to protect the city. John is seen wearing blue most of the time. The meaning of blue is loyalty, stability, trust and faith. John is really the only person Oliver really can trust. John holds Oliver in check and keeps him calm.




In this scene of Spartacus Blood and Sand, uses shallow focus really well in focusing only on Spartacus himself in the Christ sacrificial pose while the audience is out of focus. This is when Spartacus finally accepts himself for who he really is and realizes he does want to live and fights for his freedom.





 This shot from Spartacus Blood and Sand is a good example of deep focus where it focuses on both Spartacus and Varro. Spartacus and Varro were very good friends and they were to fight for a show for there guess, but no one was suppose to die, it was suppose to be just a show. A young kid for his birthday was allowed to determine the outcome, death or life. He was forced by blackmail by Llithyia to have them kill one another in the attempt to ruin Spartacus.
In this scene Spartacus become the champion of Capua with the use of a medium close up. After he defeats the unbeatable beast. It starts raining which also means cure. It was the first time it rain in a long time and he was also nicknamed the bringer of rain at that time as well. the scene is shot from kind of a gods eye view while he's in the Christ pose.


This scene uses the effect of framing when Neal is on the right side of the screan while the glass reflex the city.
