5B
I could not get my 5B video posted directly onto my blog but if you click here you can watch it on youtube. The Movie clip I am discussing in the video is from Reservoir Dogs by Quentin Tarantino and the scene is the "ear scene".

5A
I was drawn to this original image due to how bizarre the picture is. Also it just is so serene in the same way. I love the use of the black and white and despite the young girl is smoking and the strange body in the background the picture brings about some sort of calmness. I chose to re-frame the image and cut out all the excess information ex. the other little girl the cigarette and the strange figure in the background to see if the picture still had the same feeling to it.
By changing the shot from a Long shot to a close up it really does change the feel of the picture. The picture to me still feels sad but in a separate way. In the original I felt sad for the little girl because she is smoking, now I just feel an eerie feeling toward the picture because the girl just looks disappointed.
The original picture uses space far better than my reformatted one. Deep space is still used in them both because you can see the blurred person in the back, but not nearly as much in the reformatted version. It is actually unapparent what the blurred image in the background of the second photo is due to the cropping and zooming in of the photo. Also it could be argued that the second photo uses flat space and not deep space because there is not a great line for the eye to follow into the background of the picture. This is in contrast to the great line used for deep space in the original which is the line created by the road that leads your eye far into the distance. Overall i still enjoy the picture after it had been cropped and zoomed but it changes the feeling of the picture and definitively loses a lot of its luster and character.
