The two images I have selected are both from the movie Wall-E. The first image, where Wall-E is playing with a paddleball, is from the beginning of the movie, and the second image, where he is in the escape pod, is about halfway in.
The first scene is on earth, which is a post-apocalyptic world full of pollution, and Wall-E is the only remaining robot operating, still cleaning up. The scene is set outdoors, in broad daylight. The lighting is yellow, with some red. The source is the sun, so all the angles for the shadows are the same, due to the parallel rays. The color of the light, combined with the constant haze in the background show that there is a lot of pollution. It looks like a smoggy day, but much worse. Wall-E does not stand out very well, due to being in this environment for 700 years, so this is normal and the mood is calm.
The second scene is in space, more specifically, an escape pod launching. The lighting here is very blue, from multiple sources. This lighting is very similar to what high tech devices, fluorescent bulbs, and LED’s emit. The stark contrast between Wall-E and the pod show that he does not belong in this environment. The mood is stressful, since this is not lighting that one would normally encounter.
The movement for each of the scenes is accurate to what would happen in reality. In the case of the first, Wall-E sinks a little into the dirt, and when he moves in response to the paddleball, he has inertia, so it takes a moment to start moving, and when he does, other parts move as a reaction. While doing this, he is overlapping this action by continuing to move his hand and play with the paddleball. The second scene shows Wall-E pinned against the door while the escape pod is accelerating. Since he was not strapped down, Wall-E was thrown against the door, a phenomenon that can be seen riding in a car. Once the pod stops accelerating, Wall-E falls to the floor.
