This Photo shows how height can make you see a whole new photo. This gives the audience an suspenseful feeling since you don't know what's going to happen between them both. 

This photo shows distance. The figure looks so small which seems to make him little compared to everything around him. This gives a sense of loneliness or sadness to the audience.

3. As I was going over these photos, I had to decide how to show the two objects within a conflict or love interest or even all by themselves. It seems like it would be easy but after going through each one I quickly realized that wasn't the case. The hardest photo to capture was the level one. I decided to go with a love interest only because it would be the easier way to go. Now I don't think so but it worked out in the end. Getting each photo to show a different story is also by far the hardest thing to show. I would say though once you finally get the shot its so worth it. This really gets you thinking how good a film can be. Overall, the challenges faced made me just think about how a film director can be so good so fast if they use these simple rules.
