The television show “Power” broadcast on STARZ network directed by Anthony Hemingway and produced by Curtis Jackson. This show has a brilliant title sequence created by this multi-talented individual, David Brodeur.

I like the black, and white contrast throughout the whole opening of this show the colors he chose go hand and hand the text pops out so you can see and read the words well.

Upon this concept, I began to create the juxtaposed imagery that shows his "gangster life" and his "rich glamorous life.” As you can see all of the different visuals, Brodeur added in the background of the title sequence.

ABC strategically placed its premier, utilizing the concept of “flow” to cross-over their normal, stereotypical male Monday Night Football audience, towards the broad audience they were striving for their prime-time football games. Doing this allowed Monday Night Football to become a “consensual space”, thanks to the high viewing rates of the connecting film. These ideas worked with the themes of the movie to construct a positive vision towards the NFL.

    When looking for Jeff’s cinematography details I could clearly see them throughout the entire movie.

Shadows would cover parts of the characters faces indicating something dark and dangerous about them. The majority of this movie is very dark and disturbing and a way Jeff gets that emotion across is through dim lighting and shadows.…

    When I first started taking this class and even before I started taking this class when I thought of art I thought of beautiful bright pictures and now black and white pictures are just as important and can say just as much if not more than bright pretty paintings. This piece draws to me. I think if it was in color then it would be less defining. It might show color and show the woman lighten up or brighter than it does not when in reality she is far from light. She really is dark and grieving and has no way of showing…
