Still image connotation task

This wide shot of a boy sitting in a corridor represents being lonely. The darkness in this shot is important because it emphasises the feeling of loneliness, because the visual darkness is often linked to the feeling on darkness.The picture is also in a thin corridor this is to make to seem smaller and like the walls are closing in the the subject in the shot.

This shop represents poverty. The subjects hands are cupped in the typical beggar position. but there are more subtle reasons. Like the shot is a high shot, which means it's looking down on the subject which implies that the subject is inferior to the audience. Also the clothes that the subject is wearing look a bit old and dirty.

This shot shows purity because the grass at the bottom represents nature and the purity of nature. Then in the middle of the frame there is a play ground, which shows the purity and innocence of children and the very bright white sky supports the idea of white is pure. It is a low shot to represent a small pure innocent animal.             

This shot shows innocence because the subject on the right is unaware of the subject behind him. The subject on the left is higher than the subject on the right. this shows that he has power over the other. the surroundings also imply innocence, there is nothing out of place, it looks like a peaceful field, which is contrasted by the subject on the left       

              This shot shows friendship, firstly the surrounding are considered typical friendly nice things, e.g. the field and the line of trees in the background, this is emphasised with the wide angle shot, the subjects are in the middle, therefore attracting the most attention but they're not the only focus of the shot. The subjects are in high five, which represents friendship.

This shot represents love because of the the centre of the shot is a love heart. The background is out of focus, this is to emphasise the the love heart. Also the subjects face is taking up most of the shot, which is blocking out the background which also highlights the love heart. It is a close up shot because the feeling of love is is something very strong and personal so the fact there there is barely anything else in the shot show how powerful the emotion is.
