5) a. This still shot from Money Heist depicts/presents the series' crew, with the exception of The Professor, who is aligned with the Rule of Third's right vertical hotspot. Almost all of the important characters are present in this scene, with The Professor being the main emphasis, implying that he is the genius behind the entire scheme. The other characters who follow him express their willingness to join him and carry out his plan. However, if we look closely, we can identify which personalities are likely to cause trouble, such as the girl with short hair, Tokyo, who appears confident and intriguing but is unable to fully comply with it. We can also notice a hint with a character that will in the future have a lot of secrets, Berlin, who is in the center of everyone but all the way at the back, which could suggest that he would be in the middle of all the commotion amongst the characters. The Professor's biggest role is that since he brought the group together from the beginning, he would do his best to keep them all together so that he could maintain the plan under his control.

b. The white and black colors of choice influenced my character highlight and background choice.  In image 4a, the floor was an important aspect of demonstrating that the Rule of Thirds was not present in the photo; the floor made it appear like the rule was not being applied there due to the lines of the floor. For 4b, I was able to match the eyes of the two figures using camera help. however, while the eyes were able to meet, it was difficult to coordinate the figures' backgrounds and heights almost perfectly. In 4c, I brought them closer together to demonstrate a comfortable distance between them, and their alignment was mostly centered on the right hotspot. Finally, for 4d, I try to position both characters in their respective eye-views, but with the exception that they are in front of each other, practically facing each other, creating a threatening atmosphere between them. Also on a final note, the color of the background and figures made it so that they could be highlighted.
