-> We had to select a photo from the internet which connotes 'spirituality and faith' and then analyze the mise-en-scene elements
The photo has strong back lighting, making the character and the nature elements black - this symbolizes the insignificance of how the person looks, emphasizing the importance of the feeling the rest of the image provides.
The setting is bright and colorful - yellow indicates happiness, while blue suggests serenity and calmness.
Besides the character, there are also birds in the sky (symbolizing freedom), and the mountains on which the person is sitting (communion with nature contributes to the contentedness of the spirit). The scene is also reflected in the water, this the message of 'looking inside one's self to find truth'.
The position of the character is recognized worldwide as a meditation pose.
