I thought this shot would very useful to analyse because it is the perfect type of shot we need in the beginning of the opening when our CSI photos are first being presented to the audience.
What I find most effective about the still is the lighting. By using minimal light it puts emphasis on the photo which makes it stand out from it's background. By putting it under a spotlight, detail in the picture is easier to see. Also the lighting used puts the person looking at the photo into a dark sillouette. This creates mystery to the person who is looking at picture which is what we are trying to create in our own film opening as all the audience will see is the hand which picks up the photos. By doing this the audience is more likely to be interested in the film as they may wish to find out who this sillouette is.
The use of camera angles is effective too as by using an over the shoulder shot, it gives a feel that the audience are behind this person looking at the photo with them. This creates a feel of being involved in the film and being naother character. We can link this back to audience theory, emphasising on escapism, as by being invovled the film lets the audience forget about the real world.
Therefore when we film our opening I feel we should look at the use of spotlights as well as incorporating an over the shoulder shot when looking at the CSI photos as I feel that both of these will make the scene feel authentic as well as interesting for the audience.
