it was a terrible film, but this strongly reminds me of independence day (big spaceships etc). in terms of the quality of the shot, this is fantastic. the sky - obviously the focus of the shot, is both dramatic and beautiful. the little boat is a nice touch, that definitely adds to the overall feel. choice of black and white (well, greys and white, really) is also very nice. problem with the 21st century is that, unlike the wonderful days of where the burning coal and oil in the middle of cities was rife, the burning of clean fuels, even diesel, produces a very clear kind of smog. consequently, title aside, it's hard to see why this fits this particular challenge. it's still a wonderful shot, very poster-esque. can't give you more than a 7 though. sorry. |
