Task One: Research

Inspiration – The image inspires me to use one model and shoot them in different spots showing different emotions. This photo also allows you to see the direction where the soldier is heading and how that path is being set in a misty place symbolising an uncertain future. Looking at all the multiple soldier photographs you see how the 5th multiple is looking out to find an enemy.

Theme – Intention is to show how each multiple is feeling and what is the motive of the soldiers going in one direction. It also allows the theme to have multiple meanings with one being where is the future taking these soldiers also, the other could be that their motive is to kill the enemies. All multiples in one direction = one motive.

Composition – Having one model but repeated 8 times you get the impression that the photographer wants to show the emotions of one soldier in different paces along the field.  Disappearing into the background displays what the composition wants to allow the audience to feel about the soldier future. 

Colouring – Dull colouring with a dark figure and misty background softening the photograph. Contributing well to the theme of the image being: mysterious and dangerous to the soldier’s future and life.
