Character Pictures!!

I have had alot of trouble trying to upload the pictures, what with different formats and the layout on the page so I am going to write about them here! I would like each picture to suggest different things about the character, but they will be interpreted differently by different people. For all of the photographs I have used a range of shots, close ups, mid shots, long shots and low angle shots.

The first two pictures are of Dan, a long shot from a low angle and then a mid shot. I would like the pictures to imply him as an individual who looks normal, relaxed and casual but suggest there may be another side to him. His costume is casual clothes, suggesting he is relaxed and level headed. His facial expressions are trouble-free and the lighting makes the photos look natural and warm, suggesting he is a warm and trusting character.

The next one down is of Kelly and Laura. The lighting is much darker due to shadows. I would like this to suggest that there may be something about these two characters, or their relationship that is hidden or secretive. Their costumes again are fairly normal and every day clothes, suggestng they are probably students and their casual stance suggests they are relaxed characters.

The next three pictures are of the whole group, implying that they all know one another. The way that they are standing, for example the couples standing together is suggesting their relationship with each other to the target audience. The last picture is a long shot of the characters, showing their costumes and general looks. The fact that their costumes are so different shows that they all have their own style and individuality even though they are part of a close group. Phil's stance makes him look rather protective of Kelly whereas Will looks far more relaxed alongside his 'girlfriend'. They all look relaxed in all the photographs suggesting they are comfortable around each other and there is no conflict within the group.

There are then pictures of Will and Dan and then of the 3 boys. There is a range of shots, long and mid shots. The pictures show their costumes and relaxed stances around one another.

There are pictures of Will and Laura and Phil and Kelly. These show their relationship to the target audience and suggest that both couples have a strong relationship with their partner because of they way that they are looking at one another as well as the way that they are standing closely together.
