Project 2 : Movie Still DYM


Movie Still from the 2009 thriller/sci-fi/horror film Splice.

Why I chose this still
-The juxtaposition between the warmth of nurture and the coldness of the iconography in the mise-en-scene.
-The framing doesn't allow any of the characters to be thought of as good or bad, we aren't part of any point-of-view at this point and can't feel compassion for either character.
- There are many questions raised in this still, for example why the creature is so dangerous that it can only come in contact with others under only these conditions. 
- The idea of a futuristic family is portrayed as a female scientist is trying to care for this unusual-looking creature.
