Build a relationship with the content

The girl above is unsure about the box saying 'his way up' to me saying that the girl was in his control and the box being open meaning he's open to to her so the girl starts to trust and honour him like emotional manipulation but she doesn't find out until she says what she wants from him but he doesn't respect that so the shackle around her foot illustrating no way to run as the girl confused on to stay with him or leave but struggles as the manipulation too strong with his charming words. Using props to help tell story can be fun and intriguing but dont make image being too subjective as the story need to be clear and want the viewers to ask themselves questions. The background showing poverty can also illustrate her being damaged feeling lost and not sure how to handle her situation so she just looks at the box hoping to see through him.
Incorporating basic colour theory
Robert Bradley
The green, purple, black and light pink set a scary, unsettling, beautiful mood tone. The shadows on this image from the person kind of like am feeling strong as the shadow from his legs go from small to huge. The shadows also helps to trigger eyes to view the silhouette person and see his posture, does it have a meaning, is he walking to a better place.
Add conflicting emotions
Robert Bradley
Strong emotional feelings are powerful and makes image striking and clear to mind on what the atmosphere is around the subjects. Legs crossed showing not caring, am used to this, take it out on me and leave and him slouching like he's comfortable he knew this was coming. The womens left hand all clenched looking all in anger and her face in a screaming shape wanting him to listen to her but he isn't so she throws her drink to his face hoping he's ashamed.
