Along with my group I set about finding photos that issued particular moods and feelings, such as, claustrophobia, paranoia, the hectic city, depression and the future. My ultimate aim was think about creativity and originality when creating my thriller film opening.
The first shot conveys the emotion of depression. I believe this photo evokes a strong sense of the emotion depression as it shoots the character from a high angle position, which makes the key subject appear weak and futile. Additionally, the props which are a scrunched piece of paper and a coffee cup suggest that the character is stressed due to work issues; the film has a clear back story.
The second photography conveys the bustling city. A long shot from a high angle makes the lens appear cluttered and busy. Many conventions of the city are seen such as, a double-decker buses, high rise apartments and construction sites.
I hoped to portray the emotion of claustrophobia in the third photo. In this three shot the central character appears enclosed. Also the faces of the two males aren't shown the audience feel detached and share the central character’s suspense which creates dramatic tension. Also the red string around the central characters neck (a college pass) acts as a noose, because the red in this instance connotes danger and insecurity; the audience again share the characters apprehension.
The fourth picture clearly conveys paranoia the subject is seen grasping defiantly in the hope of prying the doors open whilst the other subjects restrain him. But we hoped to highlight an anxiety that comes with paranoia.
The last picture aimed to illustrate the future: a desolate landscape and abandoned construction sites are conventional signs of change but here we've used them as indicators of negativity.
Ultimately I hoped to create meaning through the photography by altering camera angles and making my subjects original.
