SILENT HILL --- GAME

From my point of view, Silent hill is the best horror game of all time. These series are master pieces. Just watch the frames and listen to the theme music. For most time the games shows the dark scenes. When I was playing it, I can hardly see the objects so I feel easy to feel more scared. The color is basically changeable, cold like green, blue and gray. Warm color like the orange, red, and the color of blood, which also want to represent a feel of killing and death. The movement is so good, if you try to touch something in the game, the objects will reacted which made game players feel so realistic.

Confession

(cannot downloaded so I use writen paragraph, I'll think of a way to change it later)

This video is from one of my favorite Japanese film Confession. Every scene of this film is extremely beautiful, like photography. In most time the color is cold.The movement of the characters in film is fantastic. You can never imagine how creative the cinematographer is. Sometimes the cinematograhper freeze the frame or make the movement slow,and that’s beautiful.The director trying to represent a tense and scary atomospher by using cloudy sky and using cold color tones.

The scence have several changeable spaces. Deep, flat, and limited. I cannot say which is good because I love every scene of this film.

The film has been selected as the Japanese entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 83rd Academy Awards.In January 2011, it made the final shortlist. It has been nominated for Best Film at the 34th Japan Academy Prize.

For the most part, the brightness of the IMAGES is very dark. The cinematograher has manipulated the scenes accordingly to the meaning and plot of film. The use of shadows in this film help to built a sence of dark and at the same time also add depth to it.. The images seems to have a high saturation and a manipulated hue to give the game the dark.

How to be Creative

Change pictures

For Sally Mann’s picture always give people a sense of horror. I’m trying to find the beauty of it. This is the original picture. I chose this picture, a woman faced us with her back. We cannot see her face, but her body figure is good. And combined with her hairstyle made me think she’s a 17-year-old girl. A young girl who are half naked and stand in the forest by her own. I still feel scary. Maybe this is the beauty of Sally Mann’s picture, trying to create an atomosphere of scary movies. Mann is crazy about her pictures, I thought maybe only people with mental problems can do these pictures.

I made changes to this picture using iphoto. I adjust the color balance and add a lens flare to it. The lens flare is dark, make the protagonist more pop up, so that audience are more easy to focus on the center part. The color is more like purple, which make this frame feel colder. According to the Picture Plane about color, cooler colors recede, warmer colors advance. I consider this picture as deep space. After I changed this picture, I feel the background if far away because I make the color colder. Line and Shape is the same because I didn’t take any part of the original picture. And Shot types remains unchanged, it is still a medium shot.
