It's Like You're My Mirror, Ohh

To what extent is the world a mirror of who we are?

We have the power to create our own worlds: Where it is, who's in it, what happens in it, how we adjust, and why we chose it. My own personal world starts with the Earth and continues deeper into the USA-Illinois-Chicago-Wilmette-My home address- and ends with my bedroom. My room is my own personal world. It's covered in music posters, tapestries, pictures, and artwork. Going deeper and you could look through my clothes, makeup, and toiletries that are spread out everywhere you look. My room mirrors me in that it shows off my style, personality, and interests, what I enjoy. I chose this setup because I feel comfortable in it. If one of my friends came into my room, never having seen it before, they would say something along the lines of, "This is so Carrie." But the reality is, it's not completely me, I'm completely me. It may tell everything about me, but it isn't me. I am my own person and the world around me can only go as far reflect, like a mirror, but it literally cannot be me.

Phyllis's Living Room

This scene is taking place in Phyllis's living room. It gives an eerie feel with the blinds drawn and the shadows cast onto one side of Walter, and the rest on the other side that he's not blocking. It gives you the idea that Phyllis could be living in the shadows of her own home. She's hiding from her husband so to speak because of her hatred towards him. The table on the right is highlighted by the rays of light and outlines the picture frames of Phyllis's husband and stepdaughter. Notice that there isn't a photo of Phyllis anywhere. This could show that they don't value her enough to be part of the family. The table also holds a lamp and flowers which gives me the idea that she wants her home and furnishings to look formal, nice, and homey, even though in reality it isn't. In other words, She wants to hide her inner feelings by putting on a mask of happiness and formality for others to see and figure that they live a perfectly normal life. The other table is organized symmetrically with 2 lamps and a fishbowl in the middle. This could give the idea that her life is "divided." With Phyllis's furnishings of the room, we know that she's a bit more fortunate and wealthy, likes to be organized, and with the drawn shades, seems to be private. 

The Intensity of Colin Farrell

       Here, we see Witwer gazing at the 3 precogs in their pool while seeing the future. The first thing I notice is that his face is in the middle of the grid and it's completely illuminated by the reflection of the pool coming from the left side of the grid. The other thing I noticed is that the precogs are clearly outlined and they're much more dark than Witwer even though they are in the pool. On the 4 corners, the top left and bottom right are darker than the top right and bottom left which are a bit lighter. That could've been a way to contrast the image, or put that pool in that certain pattern and shape. 

       The Focus here is on Witwer's face and the precogs are out of focus and in the background. The emotion on his face shows that he could be worried or scared for the precogs based on their living environment, or he could be fascinated with them. I think that's what Spielberg wants us to see, and that could be why he's focused, illuminated, and in the middle of the grid. Also, they way the precogs are placed in the pool, in a sort of triangle, leaves space in the middle for Witwer's face. This aspect outlines it even more

        This would be considered a medium close up shot with a reflection in the background. The shot gives us an idea of what type of a person Witwer is. He's wearing a suit and tie with his hair greased, so we know that he's some sort of a high-class business man.
