In
this picture we see Rocky standing atop stairs leading to the Philadelphia
Museum of art. He holds his hands up in victory for completing his morning run
as part of his training to fight Apollo Creed. Rocky and the Washington
Monument fountain both face the city of Philadelphia. We are also placed behind
Rocky letting us see what Rocky sees. But this placement is a way of Rocky, and
his importance, looking over the great city.
When
looking at this picture the first thing we notice is Rocky has a full shot in
the camera and is almost centered. Being in this position Rocky has plenty of
room to run around. We could even see him run back if he chose to and we
wouldn’t lose sight of him until the fog got too thick. The low key lighting
used in this picture lets us know how early in the morning it is and the blue
tint lets us feel the morning dew along with the cold.
Having
such an open frame in here makes us want to look around. We are able to see the
trees in the parks. Cars driving up and down the road, the office buildings,
and the sun breaking through the clouds. This is one of, if not, the most
iconic scene from all the Rocky films. The Mise En Scene used in this frame
captures everything you need to know what this movie is about.
