Best 3 photographs- This is one of my best photographs I captured around school it follows the rule of 3 and rule of odds where you can see the left wall, the girl and then the right wall. The shot is centre frame from a low angle where the floor takes up a third of the image. The person in the centre is almost a silhouette and you can’t see many features. The overall tone is dark but there is a break of daylight at the very background of the image which is very complimentary to the other features.

Old Hoover Advert- -> Hoover logo has a Christmas bow attached to it to create Christmas imagery. -> The advert itself is sexist towards women. She's portrayed as a stereotypical          housewife and for Christmas she'd be more happy with gifts to clean and stay in the house which isn’t an accurate representation of what all women want, but society wants woman to act like an obedient housewife. -> M aking the drawn image of the woman happy and emphasize she wants a hoover plays on the stereotypes given to women when this advert was produced. -> Colour scheme is Christmas colours such as red and green to show theme. -> Woman seen as being happy to get a hoover as a gift.
