Preliminary Task:

Photography

Long Shot Conveying Isolation                                           Extreme Close Up Conveying Time

   

 Close Up Conveying Anger

In each of these photographs, I tried to think of connotations as opposed to denotations. In the second photograph, anger is portrayed through the red light on the knife and the connotations that the knife holds with it. As with the third photograph, I tried to think outside of time in the literal sense and thought about how I could suggest time through another medium, resulting in the extreme close up of the school bell. This shows time as time is associated with school bells, signalling a particular time. The first photograph is of isolation. I thought that the figure sitting in the centre focus with the dark edges around the edges showed the isolation more clearly and draws the attention to this figure.
