Recommended: Thesis statement about tomb raider

Tomb Raider is one of the most elite games that I have ever played. Tomb Raider is one of those games that draws you in by way of its photo realism. One of its most compelling qualities is its use of scale when fight bosses. The enemy is usually ten times your size and power. Tombs Raider’s naturalistic qualities can cause your heart to pound as game play progresses. Many fascinating elements play a part in its design. Tomb Raider uses contrasting in dark places to scare the daylight out of you. Its beautifully crafted shading, blending and rendering engine produce some of the most complex shapes.

Tomb Raider’s creator used wonderful dark hues. This particular screenshot shows them in action. Its engine can produce some of the best lines and textures. These textures are seen in the injured man’s hair, his shaved face and the rock he is leaning against for support. As well as the ground and wooden planks in the background. Gestural lines are used in the implementation of the rain. Depth and space are shown in this still screenshot by the trees in the distance. Tomb Raider will play in its game’s Historical context during game interaction. Not only is it analog, but also interactive during play. This also gives the game a nice rhythm and the rain along with Lara’s hair display movement. The purpose of this image is to communicate information. The wounded guy gives you info about your next task to perform as you try to aid him.
The scene in this still screenshot provides a unity by using dark hues to add to the intimacy. Continuing with unity is the shaded light of her skin. Fresh green color is applied to the grass to continue the unity and relieve game tension.

    Where does the line of sport and murder intersect in hunting? Is it when the species being hunted is able to reason? Or is it when the species being hunted looks just like the hunter? In both movie and film, we see a man fight for his life and another going against all codes of ethics. While Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game” and Ernest B. Schoedsack’s film adaptation both have several similarities, the difference are also apparent in each respective media.

  • Analysis Of The Film Leatherface

    993 Words  | 2 Pages

    It's the first thing people notice, so it has to be done logically to persuade the audience to feel a certain way. In the trailer for Leatherface, color is used to generate a feeling of suspense by shifting back and forth between a warmer, daylight tone to a darker, blue tone. In the beginning of the trailer, a couple is driving in a car laughing and having fun as seen in figure 1. There is a warmer tone created by the use of natural daylight to make the audience feel how the couple is feeling. Following the playful feeling created by the first scene, the color shifts when the protagonist and her child are introduced. The scene, shown in figure 2, is dimly lit by candles with no other light. Switching to darker lighting hints to the audience that the characters involved in the scene could be related to or are the problem presented in the movie. Going back to the natural daylight, figure 3 demonstrates the next shift in color when the sheriff is talking to the protagonist about her children. In this scene, the daylight is used to highlight and create shadows on

    But not only is the film so similar in darkness, the scenes are short, reflecting the shortness of the panels. Unlike a more “normal” movie, the scenes change quite frequently and not only by perspective. The movie is constantly changing both viewpoint and scenes. Although this is common in action movies, it is used more widely in this film unlike in action movies that tend to use this form of filmography during very high tension scenes.

  • Sculpture: The Betrayal and Arrest of Christ

    If you look closely, you can see the scrapings of lines made from the tool used to sculpt the stone. In addition, if you look close, you can see that at one time this sculpture was completely covered vibrant colors. At first, I was not aware of what polychrome or gilding was, but apparently, it is in reference to the color or painting of a piece and the technique used. I only realized this while looking under the soldier's clothing. This tells me that the soldiers were dressed in blue uniforms. The reason for the loss of color of the sculpture is unknown to me, but I could figure that since it was created in the thirteenth century, that time has taken its toll, or maybe at one point someone had stripped it of its color.

    The leaves crunch under your feet. Wind is blowing through the trees and through your hair.Your heart leaps every time you hear or see something move. You are hunting. This is something both Rainsford, from “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, and Travis, from “A Sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury, love to do. In “The Most Dangerous Game,” Rainsford gets stranded on an unkempt island and has to, as a game, try to outsmart the man who owns the island without getting killed. In “A Sound of Thunder,” Travis goes back in time with a group of people to kill a t-rex. Travis and Rainsford are both similar because hunting is a big part in both of their day-to-day lives, and it’s something they both love a lot. As I said earlier, Rainsford and

    The vibrant use of colors is meant to express the environmental conditions, as well as the character’s emotions. The main color during the whole film is red. The film uses red, yellow and orange to show me and keep reminding me about the heat. There is a scene in the film where three men sit against this bright red wall, and this shot isn 't just shown once in the film but multiple times. Even though the bright sun is never shown, I can tell how hot it is because of the colors. It also uses red to convey the character’s emotions such as anger, struggle, dissatisfaction, and frustration. For example, Jade’s apartment is red color to show Jade is a frustrated character in the film. It’s as though; colors were characters in the movie

    Through the use of complementary colors, she achieves great contrast. Contrasting hues develop a theme of light vs. dark, or in Liu’s case, expectations vs. reality. Dark colors are used to suggest the harsh, chaotic conditions experienced by the workers; while light, less saturated colors illustrate the calm passivity of traditional Chinese customs and ideas. The sky surrounding the stylized women contrasts greatly with the surroundings of the exhausted men. The dark hues establish heavy visual weight below the figures and the light tones of the sky create a sensation of weightlessness and help to further distinguish the fantasy like qualities. Liu also includes the application of analogous colors, primarily to make the traditional figures less dramatic and to help unify the surrounding

  • Gauguin Where Do We Come From What Are We Where Are We Going

    2218 Words  | 5 Pages

    The use of unique color in Where do we come from? is the most visible attribute of the painting. The background is comprised of intersecting layers of shades of blue and green, which act as a backdrop for the more intense colors in the foreground. The ground plane is made up of a mixture of dirt and rock, which disappears in an area of muddled color. Due to the drastic change in color between the surroundings and the characters, it is as if they have been superimposed onto the painting. Each character is unique in composition, but similar in tone. Gauguin uses an unrealistic mix of peach and earthy brown to represent skin. In some places an orange glow reflects off of the bodies, which is heavily accentuated on the central figure. On other figures, the skin tone is dull and almost blends into the ground color. Dark brown hair color is standard throughout the entire work as well as the use of white loin clothes and robes.

  • Film Analysis Of Wes Anderson's 'Moonrise Kingdom'

    1406 Words  | 3 Pages

    It is impossible to talk about a Wes Anderson movie without acknowledging its stunning color palettes and quirky storytelling style. In one of his most exemplary works, Moonrise Kingdom, Anderson uses a warm color scheme that blends bright and desaturated colors that ranges from golden yellow, vermillion red, creamy beige, light brown, to even a hint of teal. His color scheme, which is reflected throughout the film’s props, sets, costumes, title design, and camera filters, effectively evokes nostalgia, establishes the summer-like, dreamy mood of the film, and creates a distinct contrast between the different moral values of his characters. However, in the chaotic stormy escape scene and in the costume of Social Services, the visual design deviates greatly from the film’s primarily warm color palette and instead, immerse their visual elements in a deep, dark blue color to show the contrasts in the mood of the story as well as the attitudes of the characters. Overall, Anderson’s visual
