Somers Town Screeshots

 I thought this film was very interesting and peculiar and it had a lot of potential for screenshots. I'm surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did even though it's in black and white. 

 5 screenshots:

1. 28:32min--> The two men seating outside a cafe where Maria works. I like the symmetry of the composition with the other table to the right and the door in the middle of the two tables. I like every-day scenes of people going about their lives and enjoying the present moment.

2. 37:45--> Mareck and Tomo taking Maria on the wheelchair. I liked this screenshot because the happiness I get from this scene seems effortless and there were a lot of screenshots I wanted to choose from, whether it was a close-up of their faces or them running around the corner of a street. I'm very interested in motion.





3. 45:30--> When Mareck and Tomo are seating in the little riding horses in the park after finding out that Maria left to Paris. The screenshot of the two boys too big for the little horses, while holding a bottle of alcohol and looking sad was very attractive to me because it makes the viewer wonder the reason behind the photo. It's not so much about the composition as much as the content in this case

.
 4. 41:32--> The scene when Mareck and Tomo are running up the stairs and the sign to the right reads "Children playing on these grounds is prohibited". I thought it was an interesting way of making it funny in a subtle way. The composition of the staircase is also very interesting. Since the glass in front of the staircase makes it blurry, the viewer is forced to focus on the sign.



5. 1:00:35--> At the end when Mareck and Tomo are talking in the rooftop about going on a trip for a weekend. I like the composition and the intimacy of them both as they talk and laugh to each other. I think this is the closest portrait-looking screenshot out of the 5 of them. There's nothing in the surroundings to distract us from the figures in the screenshot. 

Overall I thought it was a great film.
