Reflective Note
Gregory Crewdson‘s images revolves around a single large theme: the penetration of the repressed, eerie, and Inexplicable into a supposedly protected, pretty world. And there is a reflex effect that vents the inner emotions to combine the valuable and truth details of the real world. This successful pathway will be the monologue for each artist to review their project also can be identified a new challenge of them to figure out how to present in their own works. At the same time it also is a successful experiment in the staticization of movie scenes which made by lighting and shadow in a low mood depict.
