The document discusses the initial concept, angle, composition, and potential improvements of a photographic image. The initial concept was to convey the message that humans do not care as much about animal abuse because they do not see it directly and view animals as inferior. The eye-level angle of the subject in a dog cage was intended to allow viewers to connect and empathize with its look of defeat. The casual pose and visible blood was meant to shock audiences about how animal fur coats are made in a way most find acceptable today. Improvements could include removing the cropped top of the subject's head and a solid black background to focus solely on the subject.

1. Initial concept
For this image I used a dog cage to and put my subject in
it to to make it seem like the human was the animal. The
message i was trying to convey with this image was that
you would not do the same thing to a human as you
would to an animal/ if you knew that human were being
abused and tested like animals were you would care a
whole lot more just simply because humans believe that
they are superior to animals. And a lot of people are
oblivious to what happens to animals behind close doors
and therefore do not care as much as it is no something
that they can physically see so they feel like it is not
affecting them and has nothing to do with them.

2. Angle
The 'point of view' angle of this image helps the
viewer to connect and empathize with the
subject; the subject is eye-level with the camera
lens. I wanted the subjects head angle to
illustrate that the 'subject' does not want to
even look at the person who is attacking them
anymore and does not want to fight anymore
because they know that it will not work as it has
been happening for so long; a look of defeat.
The position of the subject also make the viewer
more aware of the blood on the subjects legs
and neck.

3. Composition
The position of the subject also makes the
viewer more aware of the blood on the subjects
legs and neck. The casual pose of the subject
might shock the audience however this is the
affected that I wanted on the audience as the
concept of how animal skin clothing and fur
coats are made is not something that shocks a
lot of people in today's society but it should be
and that is the message I wanted to display.

4. Improvements
Although i like the composition of this image as
it shows the subjects full fur coat and the
'blood' on the subjects neck and legs but this
image would have been more atheistically
pleasing to the eye if the top of the subjects
head was not cropped out of the image. I also
would have liked the background to be
completely black so that the main focus was on
the subject and not on the uneven background.
I did a attempt to do this on Photoshop but it
interfered with the shape of the cage bars and
made them look uneven.
