Transcript of Mission Impossible Rouge Nation Charachter Study

Character studies: Mission impossible rouge nation-‐ Rebecca Ferguson
In this photo the character is portrayed as a confident character that knows what she is doing. She looks like she’s working for the villain as she is wearing all black and has dark hair. There is some very heavy shadowing in this image which also implies a darkness about the characters. As you can see, there is still a male figure in the back ground of this image (he could be a bodyguard), although he is out of focus implying that the woman in this scene is leading a more important role. The bodyguard could also show that she can’t be 100% trusted by the organisation that she works for. He facial expression shows a bland yet, concentrated look towards another character. It implies intense concentration and understanding. I really feel that this shows that she has a high level of knowledge and understanding.
In this photo the character looks like she has been struggling to breathe underneath the water by the way she looks as if she is gasping for air. This almost portrays her as a more vulnerable, prey like character in this scene and could be foreshadowing future problems of life threatening situations for her character. Another thing that makes her all the more vulnerable is her lack of clothing in this image. Not only does this make her more vulnerable, but it also portrays her as a provocative character with body confidence. Although the use of black on her bikini top along with her facial expression (which implies danger and struggle rather than being sexy) shows that she still maintains a form of professionalism about her, even in a situation like this that may seem more sexually orientated.

In this shot she is seen as a powerful women not afraid of a man and can handle herself. She is still portrayed as a sexual attraction to people as she wears a long dress with a bold colour. By having her hair tied up it shows that she doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty and is ready for anything that anyone may face her with.
However in this scene she is looking more vulnerable and needs comfort from the male next to her who also looks very shaken from the event that is before them. Also her hair has fallen out a bit suggesting that she has lost her goal and something has gone wrong. She no longer looks like a put together, strong woman. Instead she looks scared with a need for protection or help. This medium neutral angled shot, is able to show the viewer not only each of their facial expressions to give an idea of how each of them are feeling, but we are also able to see the two characters body language and how they interact with one another. In this shot, the body language implies that there is some form of relationship between them by the way he has got is hand over her shoulder, protecting her. In this shot she is emasculated by him.
In this shot we are able to see her getting changed out of wet clothes. Once again, she is portrayed in a sexual and provocative way. In this scene she could be seen as a bit of a temptress who is using her sexuality to her advantage amongst the males in the room although this idea is not full proof As she is facing away from the male in the shot, and getting on with what she has to do in a mature fashion while the male is distracted by something else. This over the shoulder shot that has been used puts a focus on the character in the background (we can see this by the way that she is in focus but the man is blurred in the foreground of the shot). However it does place a significant amount of importance on the male in the foreground as he appears the largest in the shot, almost as if he plays a key role in this scene but there is no need to focus on his expression. We could link this back to the idea of her being a temptress. The use of this shot may be to distract the audience as well as the men in the room in this scene. Almost making the viewer part of the action.
