Part 2:
This frame is a close-up head and shoulders two shot image of Dr. Calvin and Det. Del Spooner in Dr. Calvin’s apartment. Dr. Calvin is wearing a white top with her hair loosely tied back in a ponytail away from her face. She is not wearing any jewelry or makeup. Det. Del Spooner is wearing a black leather jacket, a stud earring, and a simple Caesar line-up haircut. The frame abides by the rule of thirds. The two subjects are splitting center, however, the camera is focused more on Det. Spooner. Initially, Spooner’s face pulls the attention away from Dr. Calvin. This compels the viewer to follow Det. Spooner’s eyes so that we can see Dr. Calvin’s reaction. We are only able to see Dr. Calvin’s profile in this frame. In this image, the two subjects take up the entire frame with little space along the outside of the frame. Both subjects are standing perpendicular to each other. Dr. Calvin’s body is positioned facing outward, and Det. Spooner is facing inward towards the door. Their physical bodies are facing away from each other. However, their heads are angled towards each other. The tension in their positioning aid in understanding the intensity of the scene.
The lighting of this frame is somber and dark. Based on their surroundings, Det. Spooner and Dr. Calvin are conversing at night in a space without much light. The only lighting within the frame comes from an overhead white light in a shelf behind Det. Spooner, and a yellowish-gold ceiling light behind Dr. Calvin. The lighting provides a stark contrast of light and dark between Det. Spooner and Dr. Calvin. Giving a yin and yang effect on the relationship between Det. Spooner and Dr. Calvin. Thus, this frame is foreshadowing balance and harmony in their relationship.
Traditionally, a head and shoulders shot is used to show a listening or reaction shot. In our frame, we able to see Dr. Calvin’s non-verbal reaction to Det. Spooner. Det. Spooner told Dr. Calvin that “One looks at the skin and we figure we know just what’s underneath”(45:45-45:49). Dr. Calvin’s facial expressions include a clenched jaw with lowered eyebrows and the corners of her mouth are lowered. Her facial expression tells the viewer that she was angered by Det. Spooner’s response. Her clenched jaw highlights that Dr. Calvin was withholding a response to Det. Spooner’s statement. Det. Spooner is looking directly at Dr. Calvin anticipating a response. He is aware of her relationship to the robots, and he is trying to challenge the trust that she has in a creation.
I chose this scene because this was the first time that Dr. Calvin entertained a critical analysis of the emotional capacity of the robots. In this scene, she is refuting Det. Spooner’s claim that there is something wrong with the robots. However, once Det. Spooner invited Dr. Calvin to look beyond the skin, I believe that her perspective started to change. Her understanding of Det. Spooner starts to change as well as her relationship to the robots. In this frame, Dr. Calvin is forced to consider that her creation has the potential to work against her.
