Connotation Photo Exercise..By Joel Sharp 50616BTEC TV & Film

Strength

This image connotes strength because we can see someone that is hitting a punch bag. This is tells us that it is relating to strength because when we see punch bags or other gym equipment we instantly think that the classic stereotype for someone that uses the equipment is strong. But because it is a female character it contrasts with the sight that you get in your head of a strong male bodybuilder/boxer etc.

Poverty

This image connotes poverty because the person that we see in the picture is sat by and old wall near the drains and has a sad/depressed expression on his face. This images is dull and dark, it shows the person as a lonely character sitting on his own with nothing left anymore. When we think of the word poverty we gain an image and a stereotype in our head of a lonely person sitting on the streets.

Love

This image connotes love because in this picture we see the girl hugging the boy close to her. The expressions on their face show that they are happy together and are in love with each other. When we think of love, we think of affection and couples, and I think that this image represents the term well as they are showing each other affection.

FearThis image connotes fear because it is showing the person hanging over the edge of a set of stairs. It is using a high angle to show he height of the stairway and to show people that if the person was to fall over the rail then it would be very dangerous causing you to gain fear as to if he is going to fall of the stairs.

Desire

This image connotes desire because in the image it is showing the girl looking into the boys eyes with the expression of desire and wanting to be with him. From this picture we can obviously see that they are in a good relationship, and this is because she is happy and looks like she is also happy to be with him as well.

Danger

This image connotes danger because we can see that the person in the image is running down the stairs at a fast speed which could mean that he might fall down the stairs. When we usually think of danger we think of getting hurt. And this picture makes you think as to whether he is going to actually fall down the stairs and hurt himself or not.

Wealth

This image connotes wealth because it shows an expensive new car. The brand and the look of the car is a stereotype to someone with a fair amount of money.

Weakness

This plant shows weakness because it looks lifeless and is very dry and old.It also connotes weakness because it is the only plant in the image which is close, and it is surrounded by buildings which gives it an innocent weak look to it.

LonelinessThis image connotes loneliness because the person in the image is sat in the corner on her own with no friends. Also the expression on her face gives us the impression that she is sad and lonely.

Friendship

This image connotes that friendship connection because they are two friends and they look like they are happy and having fun together.

Purity

This image connotes purity because it shows a bright green leaf and it also shows nature and tranquillity. In which it gives us the impression of purity.
