Take at least 8 pictures in varying light conditions and with different framing techniques. Explain the effect of the framing and light on the picture

First Shot



I have chosen to take this picture when it is mid day and rather cloudy because then the colour of the wall matched the colour of the sky. I have also chosen to take it from a low angel shots because it connotes that someone might be looking up at something at the top of the wall. The fact that someone might be looking up at something and the colour of the shot is rather dull suggests that some bad is going to happen or the mood of the person.
In addition, this shot also has some influences on German Expressionism, this is because of the shadows that are inside the arch of this wall. This could also connote gothic horror because some horror films have been influenced by German Expressionism, for example “Sweeny Todd” directed by Tim Burton.


Second Shot



This shot was taken at mid day, when the natural light was not bright and sunny. I have chosen to do this because it gives the image a mysterious feel to it because of the framing. The connotations of this image is that It looks like someone is looking through a fence trying to find something in the grass ahead, but what makes it difficult is that it is so tall that you cannot see what is on the floor. However the image could also be interpreted as someone trying to look into the doors ahead, but is obstructed by the fence and the grass.

Third Shot



This shot was taken in the afternoon when the sun was on the right side of this particular tree. I have chosen to do this because it gives the whole image a artistic feel, due to the bright and vibrant colour that stand out because of the sun. This can be compared in terms of similarities to the way in which Vermeer used colour in “Girl With A Pearl Earing”

Fourth Shot



I have purposely taken this picture in bright day light because it makes the different colours that we can see, really stand out so the audience can appreciate the beauty of the different types of leaves. However this could also show how nature is being destroyed by a urban society and the carelessness of the people who within the society.

Fifth Shot



This shot was taken at 12:30 at night time, when nobody was outsude on the road. I have chosen to blur the image and use the yellow tinted road lights to give the image a horror theme. The dark foreground and the yellow tinted background could connote the them of horror because in a stereotypical horror film you would expect shots that seem out of the ordinary.

Sixth Shot



This shot was purposely taken at 12:00 at night time, to create a mood of suspense. This has been achieved through the use of “The Rule Of Thirds”, that draw the audience’s attention to the second window. This could connote that there is something mysterious happening in the second window, however the lights are off in the first and second window since this is where their attention should be. But there attention is drawn towards the top window because the light is turned on, therefore adding to the element of mystery.
