With my teams cooperation, I could clearly understand this assignment at my best level, and upon understanding said Preliminary exercise, I came to a profound conclusion that Leading Lines were an exceptional tool to draw the audience towards an object or person. This Composition gives the audience an idea of what to look at, without having to search for the object or person of importance. What I've noticed regularly is that directors use this technique multiple times in their Media production, and even in multiple different genres of Film. Leading lines are great to draw attention and help people focus directly onto what the director desires them to direct their eyes towards.
This movie, named Venom was one of the variants of the Leading Lines and was the example I used in my assignment, it was directed by Ruben Fleisher, who had the idea of leading the audience's eyes towards Eddie and Venom's expressions. Eddie is clearly terrified once he had truly seen Venom for the first time, the Leading Lines show Venom's calm/disappointed demeanor whilst it speaks to Eddie. This shot contains grey coloring and a mostly dark background, the characters seem to be somewhere isolated from the city clearly glistening behind them, there aren't any props aside from the Metal scaffolding Eddie seems to be lying upon. Eddie's hair seems messy and dis-organized, whilst his face seems burnt out and fatigued. Eddie is wearing a grey jacket and the sleeves seem to be reaching for his palm. The tone of this shot seems terrifying for the viewers and Eddie, this is because there is a dark gooey man-eating head floating in front of Eddie's face.
