3.  Rule of Thirds – The women’s face is in the middle
box of the Rule of Thirds.
 Camera angle – The angle used in this photo is an eye
level camera angle to make her stand out to the
audience as she's looking at you.
 The main and only subject of the photo is the women.
 Framing – Framed so the women is up close and in
focus along with a plain background to make her
stand out as much as possible.
 The photo has a shallow depth of field as she is fully
in focus whereas the background and parts of her hair
are blurry. This is done because the background has
zero importance, the photo is all about her.
 Lighting – The lighting in this photo is non-natural
light as the photo was taken in a studio with manual
lights. You can tell this as a studio background is used
and the light is perfectly lighting her up.
 Meaning – The meaning of this photo is to show that
as she is doing different movies and playing different
roles she is changing herself every time.
 Shutter Speed – In this photo the women's hair is
moving by what will probably be a wind machine as
the photo was shot in a studio. She will also be
moving her face around with her hands to get a
various amount of different shots. The photo was
taken with a fast shutter speed as even though
various parts of her face and head is moving she is
still very much in focus and not fully blurred out.

4.  Rule of Thirds – Leonardo Di Caprio and the animal are
on the right side of the photo in the 3 boxes going down
that side.
 Camera angle – The angle used in this photo is a high
angle to make Leo look scared and innocent.
 There are two subjects in this photo, the main subject is
Leo as he's giving direct address to the camera. Then he's
holding an animal which makes it the second subject of
the image.
 Framing – The photo is framed so even though the
subjects aren't in the centre of the photo they still stand
out massively.
 The photo has a shallow depth of field as Leo and the
animal are fully in focus whereas all the grass in the
background is out of focus.
 Lighting – This photo is black and white but you can still
see that the light used for this photo was natural light
from the sun. You can see that the two subjects and half
of the image is bright but then towards the bottom left
of the image is dark.
 Meaning – The meaning of this photo is to show Leo
looking after the upset animal by hugging it and by the
animal looking depressed this makes Leo look depressed,
this makes them look weak and vulnerable.
 Shutter Speed – In this photo it is clearly windy as you
can see that the grass is moving in the background, also
as Leo is holding a wild animal that could easily be
moving while he holds it which shows that a fast shutter
speed was used while taking this photo.

5.  Rule of Thirds – There are two subjects in this photo,
one is in the boxes going down the left and the other
is in the boxes going down the right.
 Camera angle – The angle used in this photo is an eye
level camera angle to make her look equal to the
audience.
 Although this image is a photo of the same person
pulling different facial expressions I believe that
there are two different subjects in the photo. When
you first look at the image the face on the left stands
out to the audience due to her energetic facial
expression and as she is up close to the camera, that
face is the main subject as it stands out more than
anything else in the image. Then the photo on the
right is the second subject as it has minimal
expression and is just a sad face.
 Framing – The photo is framed so that the face on
the left stands out and is the vocal point of the
image.
 The photo has a shallow depth of field as the subjects
are fully in focus meanwhile the background is blurry.
 Lighting – This photo has soft lighting as there is
minimal shade on her face, she is pretty much fully lit
up. This tells me that this photo was definitely taken
in a studio with studio lights.
 Meaning – The meaning of this image is to show to
different human emotions, happy and exited on the
left, then on the right sad and depressed.
 Shutter Speed – In this photo the subject will have
clearly been moving her face around pulling different
facial expression through the photoshoot so as her
face is fully in focus a fast shutter speed was used.
