Daughter with father and mother. This photo is about the little girl playing with the toys at the park, she is unaware that her parents are leaving her. The image is a medium shot at a high angle, this picture was edited, so that it will be presented as black and white. This is because I think it symbolizes the coldness of her parents as they desert her. The area of the image where the little girl is brighter due to the camera’s flash range, this creates an effect as if the little girl is still innocent and pure, while being in her own world, unaware of the actions of her parents. -Augustine

In this shot, the little girl realizes she has been abandoned. It was shot at high level, as a medium –long shot. The large empty space suggests the loneliness of the character, while in the middle, there is a pole, and this creates a line in the image, as I scarring her childhood. The character is holding a red blanket, the red symbolizes blood, and along with the stuffed dog, is her only processions, which emphasizes her loneliness and she has nearly nothing left. -Augustine



This photo is about the little girl, sleeping in the playground as if it was her home. The shot uses a medium shot at eye level. I used the flash from the camera here, as it lights up the floor, to contrast the climbing section of the playground is very dark. This creates a contrast, where the darkness seems to be ‘engulfing’ her, while the light is on the bottom of the frame, and symbolizes the darkness/chaotic thoughts are more dominant in the little girl’s thoughts. Which suggest that the little girl is on the verge of turning evil by the consumption of darkness. -Augustine

This photo is a flashback into the little girls past, she is playing as a baby with her father and having a wonderful time. This shot used a medium shot at eye level. I edited the photo by making it black and white and bluring the edges to show that it was not happening that exact moment but was infact like a dream. It shows the last heart warming memory the little girl is able to see before going insane. The atmosphere also plays a large role in this picture it shows little kids playing with their families which displays happiness and love. The setting is very important in the shot, it shows the same place where the little girl was shown happiness and unhappiness. Depth of field is used aswell, the man and the baby are in focus whereas most of the shot is out of focus. - Kassandra

In this part of the storyboard is where she gets bullied by the other kids and pushed over the edge emotionally. I started with darkening the image to give it a more frightening and taunting effect. Then I used the burn tool in the top and bottom of the image and using an over the shoulder shot to give it the look as if you were watching over the shoulder through the eyes of another bully, squinted eyes to emphasise the anger. The girl is placed at the bottom of the pole in the center of the image to draw the eye down to the girl. -cat

This close up, still image captures the moment when she turns psychotic just after being beaten by the other kids. The girl is destroying her stuffed animal from her childhood to try forget. Also to show her transition to insanity. The black and white symbolizes how bleak her world has become, black and white are cold tones which are associated with loneliness and depression, as apposed to red and orange which are associated with warmth and happiness. -cat



In this the girl is murdering one of her attackers, as the other leave with out hearing a noise. The calm expression portrayed on the girls face shows that she has made up her mind about what she’s doing and she doesn’t think its wrong, her lack of ethics. It also creates an eerie feeling that is unsettling. The colour balance on the original image was in correct due to camera settings so I fixed that using photo shop and also removed an unwanted shadow on the girl’s chest. -cat

This photo, is the investigator observing the body of the girl who was killed. He is taking notes of the details and perhaps gathering some questions to ask the witnesses. I decided to take this shot from high level because it is able to capture the whole scene of the crime. We are also able to see what the investigator is seeing. The lines on the ground lead your eyes to the center of attention which is the body and the detective. I edited the photo by increasing the contrast and exposure level to show more vivid colors and bring the story to life. The brightness also shows the detective enthusiasm and interest in the case. There is a good use of props in this shot, the cones, the note pad and the garbage bag over the dead body make the scene more realistic and look like an actual crime scene. -Kassandra

This photo, is the investigator interagating a witness. He is pointing to the scene of the crime. This shot was an over the shoulder shot at eye level so we can see where the witness is looking and see the scene from her point of view. Line was used to draw our eye to where the investigator is pointing, at the playground. The witness's face is kept hidden to bring more tension to the story this is another reason why the over the shoulder shot was used. The aspect ratio was changed. -Kassandra

-Monique A medium shot of both of the characters again, this photo cuts away the space infront of the man to show that there are no escapes as the girl reaches over with her sissors to attack (judging by her expression). The man is distracted because he is writing on his notepad.The position of the legs show that the girl is moving yet the man isn't, so he must have not noticed that the girl has left the bench and proceeded to harm him. -Monique
 * //This was a medium shot of both characters, the man's body language shows that he is turning back to see the girl and the girl's expression shows that she is startled to see the man there. This picture makes the man seem bigger than the girl because the man is closer to the camera, the reason for this is to show the man in a more important position and a bigger threat than the girl. The girl looks suprised as she is cleaning her weapon. Man's costume makes the character more sophisticated and educated than the girls, notepad indicated the information he has gathered for the investigation of the murder. //**

A low angle, medium shot photo. The low angle pin-points on where the girl is taking the dead man. Blood on the girl's arm and the dirt on the girl's leg makes it more horrific and mysterious than showing the corpse. -Monique

High angle. The girl takes the man's weapon, the gun. The girl isn't lit as much as the body is showing she is darker, suggesting that the girl is evil. Camera is very close to the characters, the girl's face show no expression, and the man's face is covered by the girl's pillow case. A contrast between the fabric and the corpse. Something happy and normal to something horrrific and unusual like getting killed by a homeless kid. Especialy when this man is a detective. -Monique

High angle shot. Dull atmosphere due to the light, and the space in front of the girl shows that she is leaving the man now. She takes back the pillow case and takes his gun with her. She is looking back at teh body with out expression as well. The body is closer to us, yet we cannot see the whole of it, but we can see the girl's. The lit background of the body shows that it's a playground and the bright colour maeans it's happy and lively whereas the body kinda gives a depressed feel. The darkness in front of the girl shows where she's heading into. The contrast between the playground and the dark trees. Shows that shes leaving to an even worst place for santuary
