What time period do you think the photograph was taken? Give reasons for your answer.
Late 1970's-early 1980's I think this because of the saturation of the color on the camera, Quality of photography, the train because it's not safe now, Fashion style.
What do you think was the genre/subject?
Holiday advertisement showing that if you go to Butlin's you'll be happy,Family holiday. Holidays
Are the elements in the shot balanced?
The Monorail in the back ground and the pool, he focuses more on the pool so it focuses on the people who are happy. He would also have to consider when the trains where going to be and had to time it so he could take a picture as the trains cost.
What message could the photograph be trying to convey?
Happiness and having fun with the family. Portraying fun, trying to give an overall idea that Butlin's is fun and that people should go.
Do you notice anything striking about the shot?
The line of people on the other side of the

This a modern day representation of a 40's to 50's style picture of film noir I know this because it looks higher resolution and in my research it told me it was a representation of a 40's-50's.
The photo shows foreshadowing for what could happen to him I can tell this because of how he is positioned behind the blinds, with the blinds representing bars of prison or entrapment because they are cornered.
The unique features of this are how the one side of his face is lit up and the rest is submerged in darkness and how the light is also helping with making the smoke stand out as well
I would recreate this image by placing a person behind a set of blinds and positioning them to be in a similar position,With the lighting I would put a light to the side of the face to highlight that side of the face.

The time period I think this photo was taken in them 40's -50's , I think this because of her hairstyle, clothing and the street light. She also has the classic Hollywood starlet look. The picture's message could be trying to say she is a lady of the night because it is a stereotypical image of a lone woman on a dark corner, It also could suggest that she was waiting for someone or something. It's unique features are that it is a crisp monochrome and would probably have been shot on black and white film, where as today's images tend to be shot in full colour and then desaturated to make it grey scale. I would replicate this image by finding a quite and old street with a old looking lamp post at night so the lamp post is on, I would then have a well dressed woman in Vintage clothing and have her stand underneath the lamp post. For the lighting I would use the light from the lamp post which lights the top of her face, another light coming from the left side to cast the light on the side of her face and cast the shadow of the lamp post onto the wall behind, and I could also use a up lighter to illuminate the wall to make the outline of the lamp stand out.

I think the time period this was taken in was the 40's-50's , I think this by the way the silhouette's are dressed e.g the suit and hat the man is wearing.The image could be showing an unexpected arrival for the two characters, possibly confrontational because I think there is a headlight to a car that might of arrived. The unique features of this picture is that it is heavily back lit causing the background to be illuminated and the characters to be in sharp silhouette. I would recreate this picture by using a Fog machine to add the fog in the background, the place the photo would be shot at the end of a ally way where it opens up, The lighting would be strong lighting(Car head lights) Coming from the other side to light up the fog and turn the characters into silhouette.

http://cdn.gananci.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Detective-con-sombrero-y-gabardina-en-blanco-y-negro.jpgThe time period this was taken in is the 30's to 40's The reason I think this is because of the Fedora and the popped collar giving the gangsta look. The message this picture is portraying is mystery and menace because we can not see the face it's all blacked out. The unique features for this image is how the face is shrouded in darkness and how we can not see it leaving mystery behind who it is. I would recreate this by putting a person in a trench coat or a mackintosh with the collar flipped up and a fedora, the lighting I would have two lights behind the person slightly wider then the shoulder width pointing downwards at a 45 degrees so it highlights the lining of the subject while the face is still concealed and facing the side. I would position the camera so it would focus on the shoulders upwards.
