This ad is successful because the symmetry with the chairs and the background adds emphasis on the actor. I also think the movement of the fire helps the ad become more captivating and interesting. I think the lighting is a very interesting choice. The focal point is very dark and around him is lighter. Lastly, I like how the actor appears to be walking on light. It adds emphasize on him.
My projects theme is ribbons. I have about 15 different colors, patterns, widths, lengths, material ribbons and for one shot I would have them all intertwined on the table. I would also like to hang them from a clear string or ribbon. I also think that tying them into neat bows and putting them in rows and columns would have a nice affect. I would also like to explore throwing them. For the most part, I would like there to be larger shadow to create a sense of depth.
