CLARKE SEES IT
SHE SEES IT AND SHE DOESN’T LIKE IT
THEY DIDN’T HAVE TO INCLUDE THAT SHOT BUT THEY DID
Okay, something really gets me about these gifs:
(credit: @bellarke — awesome work. gorgeous coloring :) )
IT’S THE DAMN CLOSE UPS AGAIN. So much focus on the expressions within the eyes, and Clarke almost looks breathless, her lips parted as she stares at him (the look in her eye resembles awe to me). Would there normally be those close-ups? Look, I can guarantee you that if it were Monty and Clarke having this conversation, they wouldn’t frame Clarke’s face like this.
We see her staring up at her man like that. It doesn’t look platonic, because it isn’t meant to be.
Can Bellamy and Clarke ever have a conversation without close ups? Nope, I think not. As viewers, we’ve become so used to it that we don’t pay enough attention, but I think we should. These shots emphasize emotion.
Connection.
Even if it’s just for a second.
