Photo Words Activity

This is an image of an outdoor surrounding, the word behind this photograph is 'mysterious'. It appears to be a point of view shot therefore we can put ourselves in the shoes of the person who is watching, which would leave a mysterious feeling within us. The tree seems more clearer that the rest of the picture which takes up most of the frame, this highlights the fact that this is a point of view shot as realistically the tree would be more clear to us being closer. The rest of the image is quite blurry and pix elated, emphasising on the fact that they are being watched, there are 3 people in the frame, and one person watching, exaggerating the element of mysteriousness. Trees and buildings within the frame make this scene more realistic and contradicts the word 'mysterious' as it is not likely to exist in this sort of public environment.

This is an image of a busy metropolitan 'city' road, many of its features show this as well as enhancing its realism. The image frames many buildings, cars, roads, pedestrians. This is helpful to see using a low angle shot, as it explores all of these features in one photograph, more than one might be able to see with an eye. The red bus comes as a focal point within the picture, it draws attention and emphasises on the 'city' atmosphere. Many billboards and construction sites are also visible therefore connoting a commercial and city like environment.



The word being expressed within this photograph is 'depressed'. While the meaning and expression may be obvious there are other factors within the frame that help to highlight on this view. Firstly the subjects black dull clothing, immediate connotations of this are sadness, therefore symbolic of the word 'depressed'. All of this is contradicted with the green natural surroundings help to emphasise to the 'depressed' atmosphere as they contrast dramatically. The males body language, of his head being down and hands cupped together, give the impression he is in deep thought also. All of this exposed within a mid-long shot, it shows his whole body so its clear and able to illustrate his emotions.

This image clearly connotes 'happiness'. Whilst the subject is jumping, this moving image shows her active body language which all suggest happiness. Her facial expression consist of a smile, and her arms in the air, all clear symbolisms of happiness. This is supported with the natural surroundings, being green and trees surrounding her, her liveliness is similar to the environment. This is a mid long shot too so we are able to see her actions clearly through this. Her mickey mouse top also brings happy connotations, as it is a fictional Disney character often giving a light hearted feeling.
