CONSTRUCTIONS:WOODS SHOTS

In this scene, I shared responsibility for shooting a scene in the woods. Primarily most of the shots are mainly filler for the romantic and happy scenes with Adam and Eve. We found different areas in the local woods to use for the particular scene. For example, we used the leaves on the ground and have the two main characters to play with them in order to get a romanticised feeling to the trailer. The couple playing in the woods together has a carefree quality and suggests their moments of innocence as they feel at home in natural surroundings, far away the commercial lures and temptations that are later offered to Eve.  As a result, we were able to use some of these happy shots to contrast with the later elements in the trailer that would feature the darker elements. For Levi-Strauss, the way that audiences understand certain words and visual symbols is through having an idea of their binary opposites.Binary opposites are used in many films, particularly thriller and horror, where the "villain" depends on the difference between that word and the opposing word "hero". Good and evil are common binary opposites in films.
