Babylon 5: In the Beginning

This scene is a very powerful point in the movie, we come across group of refugees huddled in the shadows, the lighting at this point is very poignant and we can see some of the reactions on their faces, which add to the mood of this shot.


Look at her eyes. In this scene, we have a reaction shot, you can see the emotion welling up in side of her. If you can, notice the drapery in the background, the color is of some significance. At this point, Earth stands on the brink of annihilation and the Madam President is giving the ‘hold the line’ speech.


In this last scene, we have a medium reaction shot of two soldiers while they are listening to the speech. There is a solemn and ominous feeling to this scene. The weight of the entire world is on their shoulders and that can be seen by their faces and is mirrored in the lighting of the scene.
