So… How can an image communicate meaning?

The previous post of my mood board where I took 9 photos and hashtagged the meaning behind them. This task made me learn how the mise-en-scene angles can tell a completely different story. The same photos could be taken at different angles and portray a completely different meaning. This was really interesting to find as for my magazine I will need to find the perfect angle to get the right meaning behind my front cover photo. This can also change depending on how many people. If the photo of a group is at a completely different angle it can show how this will have different effects and meanings.

We also used smart attire to see how the ‘red carpet return’ will look. The costumes could have been for the genre of music I would have done. The body language of my models was of a natural teenage swaggy vibe, which could have represented more of a lower gravity more sluggish vibe of a rapper. There were not many gestures made in my photos and that with different lighting could have gave different meanings and vibes to the rap style This with the camera at many more angles could have told a different story.
