I chose this picture, as I believe that it could portray a story.  I used a high angle in order to show that the character is less dominant. I chose for the character to have dramatic make up, as well as having mascara down her cheek. This could symbolise that the character has been through some trauma and is therefore crying, as well as having smudged lipstick. I used a phone to take the picture, however I used the flashlight, in a dark room, in order to make sure that there wasn't to much light.

 The character is wearing a black hoodie, this could show that the character is generic, representing a generic situation.  The use of the colour black has negative connotations, which can symbolise the character being hurt or abused. The character uses indirect address to show feelings of intimidation and sadness, which can also be represented through the mascara marks on her cheek.

As you can only see half of the characters face, this can convey a mystery to the audience. This could also show the character is shying away from people, which could be related to her being victimised via abuse.

From the characters facial expressions, looking sad and upset the audience can tell that something has happened to her, therefore allowing the audience to sympathise with the character.

I applied no filters to the picture, as I believed that there was no need too. The character's hair which is messy and frizzy, makes the effect that there is filter over the picture to make it look as if there are two of the same picture slightly over lapping. The use of this could show some sort of abuse that the character has been through as well. This effect can also make the picture look slightly blurry on the outer corners of the picture, hence making the audience concentrate especially on the characters face and facial expressions.
