We decided that the lighting for our piece would be better if the photograph was taken outside to represent that the character was presumably lonely or homeless. Although the facial expression on her face represents that she isn't happy, the lighting contrasts with this as it is very bright and light; you could guess the time of day.
Additionally, the positioning of our character represents that she could be bored and fed up. Her isolation could portray that she has to go miles in order to find supplies to keep her going. Her arm rested on her knee, and hand to her face could show that she is tired both mentally and physically and would do anything to live a normal life again.
The costume, hair and make up of our character was important to get right to portray the vulnerability. We wanted her clothing to look old, torn and worn to represent that she had been living a life on the streets. Her make up has ran, which could portray that she had been crying whilst looking at the picture she has in her hands. Although most of her hair is tucked inside her hat, it could represent that she hasn't had any where to go to freshen up and keep herself clean.
The main props in our images are the picture, can of food and the dog. These represent that she doesn't have a lot of supplies upon her person, therefore representing that food and supplies are scarce. The image in her hands could be of her family or a loved one, who she wishes would return and see again. The can of food beside her shows that food is in very short supply and therefore has to eat things sparingly. The dog in the first image could be her only companion, and only has him to keep her company.
