TV Drama Screenshot



This is a screen shot from the Channel 4 drama "1066". We can tell it's a costume drama by the traditional Viking outfits as worn by the actors. The lighting is dark and cold, mirroring the expressions on the characters faces. The  lighting reflects the atmosphere of the scene indicating that something bad is about to happen . The character on the left has an aggressive look on his face showing his determination most likely for an act of violence. The character on the right looks reserved (due to the crossed arms) possibly suggesting a conflict between the characters later on. The shot is low angle making the characters seem more powerful and dominant. The background is blurred to make the characters stand out so that the audience focuses solely on them. The character on the left is looking directly at the camera, making an impact on the audience and possibly intimidating them.
