So… How can an image communicate meaning?

I now know that images can communicate meaning through a combination of camera and mis en scene, for example, in chicken run they use different angles on the camera to create a feeling for the audience such as when the camera is looking down onto the chickens from the butchers perspective it gives them a sense of fear for the chickens and empowerment for the butcher. There is an effective part of mis on scene in one of the scenes in chicken run when the butcher opens the door to the barn and in front is a sliver, shining axe sat on top of a wooden log, this symbols that the butcher is ready to kill the chicken.

I know now that this will change how I design and format my magazine construction, this shows me now how one image can give such a background story and lead your mind off in different perspectives. I now know that I will think more carefully about what angle photos I will take whether it is a high angle shot to give vulnerability or a low angle shot to give power and dominance.
