ulie Delpy's "2 Days In Paris" (2007) "look what the french did to babe"

This movie i thought was interesting especialy with its use of photo montages on the train, down the street, through locations ect, this coupled with the animation theory that you will find your neigbour somewhere on the other side of the world was especialy good. This film also uses lots of natural light in the day scenes coupled with reflectors to light the scene, the same can be said with scenes inside, using the avalible lights and just adding a few lights here and there to help balance the scenes. Backlight is also important as it helps hilight the characters and bring them out so insted of being 2d they have more of a fuller and 3d apperance as well as edge lighting. The scene in the garden outside the parents flat is most likley lit from above with flood lights and the natural light while scenes in the taxi are more probably lit with lights being on the cameras themeselves but turend down to a lower level. In one scene it is lit through the computer screen and no additonal light is added while in another fake moon light has been added. The thing that i found funny in this movie was the series of photos that they use as they drive down the street, this is interesting because isnt the whole movie just one still image after another being just 24 frames a second and comprising of some 138240 frames or pictures for just a meer 96 minuites so in the end isnt it just a less stagerated effect.
