Analysing and Deconstructing Images

In Todays lecture, we looked at what to consider when analysing images
Main things to consider - non verbal communication ;

  1. Construction
  2. Audience
  3. Narrative
  4. Categories
  5. Agency
*Technical Codes
  1. Camera position - shot size
  2. Camera angle
  3. Lens type
  4. Composition
  5. Focus
  6. Lighting
  7. Colour and Film
Looking at Mis-en-scene is also important and linking to props and dress code. 

Lighting in your portrait can change the whole meaning of the image and representation of the model (YOU)
As there is no 'real you' the Photographer decides how he wants the audience to perceive you and judge.
