Critical Analysis Of Still Images

WALT: Critically Analyse Still Images

Today we are going to be using our analysis skill to Critically analyse still images.

We are going to be answering question about this photo, for example, what's the message in this image? Now that I gave you an idea, lets start all the questions.

Who took the photo?

I believe it is a person who is taking a photo of their everyday life, or I think it is a tourist taking pictures of what the city looks like, and what people do their, kind of like a Photographer. A Photographer is someone who takes picture in exchange for money, mostly if they are a professional.

How Is The Subject Represent In The Photo?

I think it is about pollution. I think it is about pollution because as you can see a little boy is jumping off rubbish into another pile of rubbish. And if you look at the background you can see dirty building with smoke and more rubbish all over the country or city.

How Do Different Parts Of The Image Contribute To The Message?

Well because their are probably thousand of pieces of rubbish, and gas or smoke. Mostly because of the kid playing in the rubbish. I think that he thinks that it's a playground but people he has been living in a polluted place he is used to it because he has lived their his whole life.

What If The Image Was Cropped?

Well if it was cropped i'd think they would crop out the whole thing, 'You know why?' Well because If they would to crop our everything but the boy and added a playground. it would look like a boy just playing on a playground instead of rubbish, but only if they did a good job.

Who Might The Intended Audience Be?

Other little kids because it's a playground where they play?? (Sorry I am Confused By This Question)

How Might Different Groups Of People Responded To The Image?

I think their response would be like this. "Aww, poor kid. Wow look at all the rubbish. How could they live like that? Why does he look so happy playing on rubbish?"
