Photo Activity

Depression

Our depression is simply just the subject feeling distraught and miserable. Our high angle shot of him, shows that he is completely out of power and has no control of his situation. We isolated the subject in an enclosed very small room with a circular table and cup of coffee exacerbates our characters emotions. This is also backed up by his solitary body language with his hand on his head and his head down.

Claustrophobia

In this image of claustrophobia we try to convey the effect it will have on a person physically and psychologically. By our subject being corned by two larger figures in an already compact space. By our impression of using shoulder shots we can show levels in terms of size against our subject who is cramped and feels very uncomfortable. Using the inside of the lift and its cold cramped metallic look allows us to execute our deliberate image of insecurity and psychological fear.

Paranoia.

The image of paranoia in our representation is of the subject of the photo feeling surrounded and his imagination of psychological demons chasing him. The high angle shot with our subject on his knees as well as his struggling facial expressions and our two persecutors standing over above him shows the levels of authority and the balance of power in his mind. Our subjects struggle with being closed in to a compact space with his worse nightmares and his fears fighting against him and his myopic mental thinking.

City.

Our depiction of 'City' shows a wide shot of the modernisation and the urbanisation of a city. With high towering infrastructural buildings symbolising wealth and money, are contrasted with the old tower clock representing a continuosly remembered history. Multiple buses and bustling traffic shows overcrowding and pollution which is backed up by the leafless trees which connote death and lifelessness.

"These representations of different elements using shots
can allow us to view a wide range of alternative when
try to convey out a meaning in our short film as each
shot connotes something different rather than the clear,
obvious external image we can see, the meanings also
very much vary, and if we can apply that into our film
then we should create footage which leaves audience the
excitment of being able to figure out the meanings for
themselves."
