Induction Photographs

Fear:In this photo we used a worm’s eye view angle of the subject to make him seem taller. We also made the subject stand in front of the sun to create the shade effect to make the subject look more dangerous.

Danger: For this photo we used a simple straight on shot and focused more on using the focus to draw attention to the subject the male subject is out of focus in order to make him harder to see so that he seemingly poses a larger threat.

Desire: In this photo we used an OTS/ POV shot of the subject in order to make sure the subject is clear. The back most is the only one in focus in order to draw further attention; in combination with the OTS we get the effect that the male subject is looking at the female.

Friendship: We used a simple straight on shot for this photo but once again utilized connotation, a high five is a common gesture amongst friends rarely seen in any other situation.

Greed: In this photo we used a simple straight on shot to show one of the subjects being robbed, we used this shot because ‘robbers’ are normally attributed with greed.

Loneliness: As with the ‘Desire’ shot we used a POV/OTS of the subject in order to create a distancing effect between the subjects. This distancing effect is due to the angle and distance, realistically the subjects were much closer, this creates the effect of isolation or loneliness.

Instead of utilising angles and composition for this photo we used connotation to our benefit by creating the heart shape that is used commonly to represent love

Poverty: This photo is taken from a high angle in order to make the subject look smaller and weaker; the spare change in the hand is an indication of begging hence poverty.

Strength: We shot this photo from a low angle to make the subject look taller and more threatening achieving an effect of dominance.

Purity: In this photo we used a worm’s eye view in order to shoot the sky and some trees which are commonly attributed to ‘pure’.

Weakness: Much like the ‘Love’ picture we utilized connotation over angles in order to demonstrate weakness, the arm wrestle is a common test on strength and the loser is normally considered weaker. 

Wealth: In this photo we used a low angle canted shot in order to draw attention to the subject. The canted angle draws further attention to the shape of the car making it look more striking than it would look on a straight on shot.

Lighting: all lighting used was ambient as most shots were taken outside

Mise-en-scene the only prop that was used was the stones for the ‘Love’ picture and the camera bag in ‘Greed’. All costumes used were the subjects own and don’t relate to the scene being played out.

Colours: All the colours seen in the photos are natural no photo manipulation or filters were used.

Framing: all photos were taken with the main subject(s) taking up the majority of the frame with slight exception to the ‘Danger’ photo.
