Blog Image Essay #4


The fifth element an astounding movie, most notable known for its incredible CGI work at the time, but today let’s look at the poster, which uses “area of focus” very well. There is quite a bit going on in this piece, flying space ships, three floating disjointed heads, and 5 very bright lights ranging in size going smaller and taller in a hill effect. The area of focus in this piece is undoubtedly is Bruce Willis’s face where not only is there something of a blue aura focusing around and behind his head. But his head is also the biggest out of the three. As well as the 5 lights hill effect the largest one leads us straight to his chin. The flying space ships add to the piece as well with their light tales that pretty much act as arrows pointing to the triangular hierarchy where Bruce is dominant in all shapes and sizes. The blue aura around his acts as a area of high contrast between the blue whitish, to the straight black. Yes with Area of Focus it is a very nice tool to utilize indeed, to point to something that you want the world to see.
