I began this project thinking that I would make a simple collage of my favorite animals randomly mapped out in a single image until I noticed that both the wolf and tiger had been similarly framed in each shot.
After noticing this I decided to remove the eyes from the tigers photo and use them to replace the wolf’s eyes. I then duplicated the layer and played with the soft lighting and opacity of the eyes in order to brighten them in the final photo.
I first noticed the symmetry in this photograph with the two trees on the left and right. The trees also seem to frame the image as most of the photograph’s content is within them. The photographer’s use of a deep depth of field captures the true beauty and grandness of the forest. I also liked how he captured the light coming down through the trees lighting up everything within the image. The photographer seems to be trying to persuade the audience to come experience nature for themselves. The forest itself seems to be inviting guests to explore the unknown world that within the trees.

Film, in my opinion, should be about the story that the filmmaker wants to tell. The story that we tell reflects our subjective view on the world and we are sharing our perspective with the audiences through the camera lens. Whether we are creating film to educate, influence, or entertain an audience, how we tell the story is the key aspect to creating that effect.
