Connotations Photo Exercise

 loneliness
This shot was created to show the emotion of loneliness,
width was used in a wide shot to show the distance in which others are from him and to show the sad solitude of the subject.
 Friendship
This shot shows friendship by capturing a group of friends walking away from the camera, the position of the subjects was used to show togetherness in a friendship. Also the action of the friends shows them walking forward with their backs to the camera this shows movement in the picture and in the friendship.
 Desire
Here we used an over shoulder shot, this shows the emotion of desire as the subject in the picture is reaching for something and is striving to achieve what they 'desire'. Also the angle of the picture is effective because you see the what the person is doing whilst also being able to see what it is they desire.


 Love
In this shot we used focus to represent the emotion of love, by focusing in on the dandelion it represents purity and beauty, whilst in the unfocused background of the image you can see the couple.
 Poverty
We used the setting of this picture to show poverty, the character is sitting on the floor next to a bin, this suggests that he is dirty homeless and poor. Also we used a dutch angle to give emphasis on the character and to give a disorientating look to the picture.


Purity
We used an extreme long-shot to create purity, we decided to capture the sun because of its light and magnitude to show purity and innocence.
 Strength
This shot shows strength because of the positioning of the character and camera, we used a low angle to show the height and dominance of the character, also the character is standing straight and is central to the camera to show scale.
Fear
In this shot we did the opposite to strength, we used a high angle over the shoulder shot to show the fear in the character and what the character is fearing (strength picture). Also the high angle makes the character look insignificant and small oppose to the character looking down on him.
Danger
This shot shows danger because of the lighter which she is cautiously watching. The dutch angle of the picture also gives the character an edge and suggests that she is unsafe.
Wealth
We used a medium shot and a high shutter speed to create wealth in this image, also the body language of the character shows a smug/happy look as he throws money in the air this suggests that money doesn't matter to him because he is rich and has a lot.




Greed 
This shot shows greed because of the two characters and their actions, the photo shows one character showing their money and hiding it from the other who has a small amount and looks in need whilst the other is being greedy by flaunting his without generosity.
