analysis essay. (ice age)

This image from the movie “The Day after Tomorrow” had an ice age which destroyed the city. It shows many different elements that are involved throughout this image. The content stands out the most out of the other elements involved; the Statue of Liberty is the main object because it is the largest image. Throughout the image, you notice the utilization of many elements; the content, composition, lighting, texture, angle and vantage point.
While taking a look at the image, you notice different things happening. One of the more obvious elements is the way composition was used throughout the image and the way the photographer used lighting. An example using of composition would be the city. At the angle the image was created, the buildings appear extremely close together, almost as they are touching. Also, the way the ship is tilted, frozen in the water would be an example of composition. An example of how Lighting is utilized in the image is the sun rising on the left side behind the statue of liberty. Since the lighting does not come straight down from the top of the image, only the left sides of the buildings have light shining on it, but the right side has shadows. Since the lighting projects from a certain angle, it helps to exaggerate the ice age, and helps make the image look colder.
Two other elements that occur in this image are the texture, angle and vantage point. The texture is exhibited through the Statue of Liberty, the statue is covered in ice from the ice age, and this creates a feeling in which it would be sharp on the edges, really cold, although sometimes the ice can be smooth. The angle and vantage point looks like it was taken from a helicopter or a plane. It also appears that it was taken from a weird angle because it was taken really close to the statue of liberty, although they were not on the statue, the photographer had to have been in a helicopter/plane right next to it.
This image has an important element other than content that stands out the most which would be the texture. The texture stands out the most because each part of the picture shows a different feeling to everything. The element has a certain meaning which the texture shows what the weather is like and shows that something worse happened than just a snow storm. Some cases looking at this image people may think a really bad snow storm happened but they obviously cannot tell what really happened through just a picture. But this image a global warming occurred and an ice age broke through. The most surprising significance of this image it shows that it took place in New York but it was mostly taken in Montreal.
This image shows a lot of different elements and how they are used in every way. Some people think this image is not real because it is from a movie, which is true. But the thing is people ask if this could actually happen in which, the researchers say “this scenario is fictional and that other Hollywood movies that claim to be based on true stories, there's a kernel of truth that is then pumped full of steroids and given cosmetic surgery.” Each element is shown in all sorts of images or concepts. The image of “The Day after Tomorrow” is a good picture to use for an analysis because each part of the picture has to do with the elements. Doing an image is easier than a concept because you can actually see how each element is displayed instead of visualizing with a concept.
