This still is from the Sci-Fi Thriller 'Source Code' (2011) .
I chose to analyse it because:
-On its own, the shot looks very enigmatic. The male character is surrounded by darkness, the only light source being a television screen. It creates a sense of mystery and raises many questions such as why he is there and what's going to happen.
-His expression, the light reflecting off his eyes and the sweat on his forehead make him appear vulnerable and scared. He is looking up, possibly trying to find a way to escape and not paying attention to the television, which suggests conflict.
-The framing and lighting is very effective. It is a close-up (CU) which focuses on the character's facial details. The TV screen is out of focus which creates depth of field, but it also adds to the effect that he is distracted by something above him.
