WHAT HAPPENS IS TERL (TRAVOLTA) AND KER (WHITAKER) ARE ALIENS CALLED PSYCLOS (A RACE THAT
CONTROLS EARTH) ARE SECRETLY TALKING MAN ANIMALS (HUMANS) TO MINE FOR GOLD AND GAIN FROM IT.
LINE, SHAPE AND MASS
• EVERY FRAME IN THIS SCENE IS IN A DUTCH ANGLE; WHICH IS WHEN THERE IS A CURVE IN THE SHOT.
SINCE WHEN A CHARACTER IS IN FRAME THEY ARE ALSO ON THE SIDE OF SCREEN WHICH IS MORE
DIAGNOL
• THERE ARE GEOMETRIC SHAPES WHEN SEEN BY THE TECHNOLOGY AND YET THE ENVIRONMENT IS
MORE ORGANIC ON BACKGROUND AND WALLS SINCE IT IS MORE LIKE ROCK AND CEMENT.
• THE DOORS ARE AT LEAST TALL ENOUGH TO GO THROUGH AND THE ENVIRONMENT IS BIG ENOUGH TO
A EXTENT. BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS QUITE SMALL FOR THE CHARACTERS HEIGHT, IN WHICH ALL
PSYCLOS ARE TALL FIGURES TO BEGIN WITH BEING 9 FEET
TEXTURE AND COLOR
• EVERYTHING ON THE SET LOOKS SMOOTH, ALMOST ALL APPEARS MORE LIKE PLASTIC, BECAUSE IT
JUST LOOKS SO CHEAP AND FOR ME IT IS SO UGLY TO LOOK AT.
• MORE OF A BLUE PALETTE AND IT IS ONE OF THE BETTER USES OF COLOR THROUGHOUT OF FILM, BUT
IN MOST PLACES HERE IN CAN BE TOO MUCH
