Brainstorm: -The two were talking. She told him to go away because he didn't belong.

                    -The seeds of the sacred tree choose him.

Techniques:-

                   - lighting- artificial, bright, and dim- plants/ things they touched were bright, the background was dim, cold

                   -Colour- palette- neons- blue/green.purple

                                            -extremes, shows us we are someplace different/ exciting.

                   -Camera- Shots, angle, movement and focus

                                  -Tilt shot used to show the seeds- POV shot of Jake, exciting/ magical.

                                  - Conversation- mid-shot, show bodies- shows the distance between the characters.

                                  - Close up on seeds, shows ethereal movement, otherworldly. 

Statement: In the scene 'seeds of the sacred tree' lighting is effectively used to create the otherworldly experience of Pandora.

Evidence: An artificial bright light is seen as the figures run and touch things in the environment. The rest of their surrounding remain dark against these flashes of cold neon light.

X-audience- This makes the audience feel amazed and envious of the unnatural and unearthly qualities of the planet.

X-director- The director did this to make the viewer feel like they have been transported to another world where new and exciting things are possible.

X-other techniques- coinciding with this is the use of a neon colour palette. The blues, greens and purples become vibrant and otherworldly when combined with the artificially bright lights caused by movement.

Y-Your link- real-world- The lighting and colour are juxtaposed to that which we experience in the real world. Like earth, it has trees, plants and native people but they have seen vastly different from us because of the bright artificial/ neon lighting and colours
