The pictures above is of the film Little Mermaid. I have posted these because I feel that it links in with my research with the Sirens. However, Ariel shows the nice side of these creatures and even though there she is a Mermaids they are still part of the family with Sirens.
These pictures are from the film Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
The two shots below are from the film are show perfectly the two different side to the mermaids/sirens the good side then the evil.
A young, beautiful girl to bring the men into the water/
The shot above is showing when they get them into the water how they turn evil and drown the man. In my eyes, the colour yellow represents joy and happiness and maybe something to look forward. This would only be in the eyes of the mermaids since the man getting killing would feel scared, worried and would panic and this would be represented by the colour of red or navy blue. I think that she has a sparkle and yellow because she is getting what she wants and is showing her power and dominance towards the man that she is killing.
The two pictures above illustrates that not all Sirens/Mermaids are evil and aim to kill. Syrena is turns out to be the kind, gentle mermaid in the film out falls in love with Philip (left picture) played by Sam Claflin. The shot on the right is showing her vulnerability, calmness and also shows how soft she is. Her body language is closed to show that no one will touch her and her face shows that she is slightly frightened, worried and as well as calling out for help.
The shot on the right is showing one of the sirens pulling 'Wendy' into the water.
The close-up of this shot is very effective because it shows the big details in the shot. For example the web in between the fingers, the long nails and also the finger going into the water at the bottom of the shot. It all gives the audience the sense of who they are and what they are about to do.
With the shot on the right, is this where Peter saved Wendy from getting drowned in the water and the Sirens reaction of that. It is showing that she isn't happy/impression since she didn't finish her mission of killing her.
The mid-shot above is showing the main details
that need to be addressed:
her hair, hands, face features and expressions.
All these aspects in the shot will give details to
the audience and it will demonstrates what is
happening in the shot.

We researched Sirens in different films as it is the best way to see how they are seen in different ways. This helps us to see the good and the evil side to Sirens/ Mermaids. We are going to use this research to help us create a album cover which will appeal to the audience whilst staying with the disjuncture film.
