These images will also be in black and white, adding to the mysterious element. As the liquid is poured into the glass already and the bottle is half empty it shows that her addiction is still quite strong, progressively getting stronger, although, the bottle is not empty, therefore it shows that it is not 100% taken over the girl. The idea that the image has been shot in a different location to the previous shows, further, that the addiction is progressing and slowly getting worse. The use of the low angle shot shows that the drink is taking over her, and she sees it as something that she fears.
I chose to discard these images from my final selection as, once again, i thought the framing and angles were not right/suitable for the message i was trying to convey. For example, some shots
were taken from a high angle, connoting that the girl is still totally in control of her drug taking, however, the message i wanted to put across was that, the more drugs you take, and the more frequently, you are slowly going to become obsessed, the drugs will began to rule you and you will find yourself depending on them. Therefore, i thought the connotations of using a high angle shot did not reflect this. Also, on some of the images, the photo did not show the full use of props and therefore it was hard to tell what was in the frame. This is another reason why i decided not to use some of my images.
