High Vs. Low Visual Intensity
This image is an example of low visual intensity. The image is relatively flat. It is primarily only one color, and everything flows horizontally. An affinity of space is used throughout the image which creates the low visual intensity.

This image has high visual intensity because it has a strong contrast within it. This contrast is created by the presence of both black and white in the image. There is also a lot of depth within this image. This is created with the contrasting images within the photo. The tree is the background of the image adds a diversity of lines in the image and is a strong part of the contrast of the image. The mirror is also a strong contributor to the contrast and visual intensity in this image. If the image just included the person’s shoes and the sidewalk, there would be a low visual intensity. However, since the mirror provides an opposing subject in the shot, high visual intensity is created.

The Shadow Lurker
Sound Effects Activity
For this activity, I looked for sounds that would create a suspenseful, scary atmosphere. The initial background music that is heard is titled, “Zombie Hoodoo.mp3” and can be found on incompetech. I felt that this background music creates a suspenseful atmosphere, especially when you reverse the track and play the reversed track and the original track at the same time. The next sound that can be heard is titled “Scary Ambience 2.wav” and can be found at Freesound.org. Ideally I would include this sound whenever the monster/person chasing the main character appears in the frame. That is why I repeated the sound multiple times in the sequence, to indicate that the pursuer had entered the frame.
