Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis – The Temptation of Jeanne d’Arc
The temptation of Jeanne d’Arc used to be strongly suggested through
visual storytelling. The utilization of sunshine, shadow and completely different compositional parts
painted a say of a persona whose core beliefs are about to be shaken.

In Episode 9 Jeanne used to be accused of being a witch and imprisoned.
In her detention center cell she prays to a carving of an angel. The scene then cuts to a
canted attitude of the angel carving (image above). The canted attitude used to be no longer wonderful
passe to blueprint a map of unease befitting the scene but also to visually
portray Martinet’s are attempting to shake her beliefs.

The shot above is the strongest compositional representation
of Jeanne’s pickle. In a train about demons and gods, a ray of sunshine would possibly perhaps perhaps well well be
strongly related with ravishing beings and a formula to portray one as holy and
ethereal. Jeanne praying at nighttime, separated from the ray of sunshine, conveys the
lost of her saintly image and a map of abandonment by the gods. Obviously
this imagery reinforces the belief Martinet wish to instill into Jeanne.

After Martinet tried to persuade Jeanne that she has been
betrayed by her fellow participants, the scene goes succor to an insert of the angel
carving. This used to be to toughen her dedication to the gods as a holy knight.
Afterward this image is passe for an reverse manufacture.

The first say is one other solid composition. Jeanne continues to wonderful
face the angel carving as a train of resolve against Martinet’s temptation. The
ray of sunshine is performing as a separation between her and Martinet’s darkness. Alternatively,
the smoke from the transformation spell is distorting the light as if to
counsel that her separation from temptation is fragile.  The second image is a low attitude and shallow
focal level shot of the spell bottle. The produce bigger in scale and focal level stresses out its
significance.

In a single other are attempting to sway Jeanne (by suggesting the angels
rep deserted her), the ray of sunshine is further distorted with the swear of some
spooky shadow puppetry. In the second say, the scene again goes succor to an
insert of the angel carving but this time to emphasise Martinet’s insistence that
Jeanne has been forsaken by the angels.

This closing shot vastly sums up Jeanne’s topic. She has remained
resolute in her beliefs but she is shaken and the light protecting aside her from the
leering temptation (spell bottle) is faint.

Episode 10 didn’t rather provide composition and imagery as
solid as Episode 9 but persisted to swear light for visual storytelling

In the scene the place aside Jeanne communicates with the angels
(presumably Martinet’s imitation of them), critical of the frame used to be dominated by the
angels in the form of a fireside. This dominance of heat color when removed, as
shown in the third say, creates a difference that accentuates Jeanne’s
feeling of abandonment and betrayal.

Abandoned and cornered, Jeanne in a roundabout scheme affords in to Martinet’s
temptation and accepts his provide.
