Analysis on photograph:

This photograph took the most time to get right because I had a lot of ideas for how I wanted it to look, but nothing was really working.

For a start I took lots of different photographs in different poses around the scene and had Clementine wearing lots of different outfits. This was to make the viewer see that she kept changing and Joel was staying the same. I decided on having six different images to really get this point across.

However after sitting with these images for a while I decided that there were just too many photographs of the one film and they didn’t really fit on as no other film had more than one photograph. I took the two best photographs and decided to make the change really noticeable by changing the whole colour of the photograph, not just the cloths and wigs of Clementine. The two colours are pink and green, opposites on the colour wheel. This is to show extreme change in just two photographs and not six.

The scene that the couple are in is very simple; the duvet reflects both of the couple’s personalities. The brown is Joel, boring, predictable and dull. The squares of orange are Clementine; bright, fun, happy and ever changing. But the orange squares do change into brown, showing their love and happiness towards one another.
