Wednesday 10th December

 

We have decided to use a number of different props to edit our photographs with which each represent a different situation where someone can feel trapped:

1.Frames

-This is to portray restriction in a way that reflects a subconscious feeling of trapped, how someone from the outside may come across as happy but actually in reality underneath it all, they are not.

2.Barbed wire

-This is to represent a more harsh form of trapped, to reflect punishment that people have experienced throughout life and events.

3.Movement 

-We have used movement to reflect someone who is mentally unstable, possessing more than one personality and how they could be trying to escape themselves not others.

4.Confinment e.g plastic bag

-We decided to use this as a way of communicating suffocation and how people can feel consumed by life an thus possess a need to escape and breath.

5.Restriction e.g. string

-Finally we used string to represent someone feeling tied down/ tied too something or someone, maybe a job or commitment that doesn’t make them happy.
