I left my baby sister out there to die

This crossfade happens as everyone leaves the Sanctum reliquary after the big reveal. Bellamy is alone, and his thoughts turn to Octavia.

How much weight can this man carry?

She Deserves to Be Happy

Cinemetography (2/?)

Color choices set the mood and tone in film. Red is used to convey love, warmth and happiness, but also passion, lust, power, and rage. If a character is wearing a red dress, she is evoking one of those emotions. Green is used to express nature, calm and peace, but can also signal sickness, rot, envy, and jealousy.

Used together, they convey a sense of magical realism - that something uncanny and not to be trusted with the senses is going on in the scene. I was building a post comparing how these colors are used in Season 6 to John Wick, Vertigo, and Amelie, but I decided to put it aside in favor of this one.

As we’ve seen, the fern and forest setting of Alpha where our heroes landed and all of Sanctum is portrayed in varying shades of red and green. The psychosis scene was set against a backdrop dripping with these colors. 

This gif is a vibrant example of this color convention - look how happy Clarke is, finally - she deserves it! But all is not what it seems. Given what we know about Clarke’s host potential... I’m thinking this is Josephine, dancing in her studio and painting a self-portrait.
