For this week I worked in a group with Omar, Amr and Mariam .We had to come up with 4 still images about a small play involving the burial of the two lovers and fighting about where to bury them.
Image 1
In the first still image the husband's family came to the burial site to console the woman's family.The body language shows that the family is sad and is probably crying from the way they were positioned.The woman's family were sitting with thier face down which meant they were sad. Although the setting of what the man's family were doing was very unclear. The overall mood could be said to be sad.
Image 2
The second still image shows the family getting into an argument as to what caused the couple to decide to move.As you can see the body language shows them pointing which means they are accusing one another. we also used space as one of the family members tried to invade the private space of the woman's family member to show his arrogance.if you look at the picture, the setting is preety celar as it is tense and possibbly a fight about to break out.

The third still image is when the they were pointing at who related to who as the mother pointed to her second daughter and the brother pointed to himself. The pointing of fingers also explains this one because they are trying to say that they both have the right to take the cropses of the lovers.
Image 4
This image shows the defeat of the woman's family to the argument as she layed slumped on the grave of her child, while the man's family gladly turn thier back and walk away. You could notice that they were defeated because the woman was slumped.
Well done Ameenah you have clearly worked hard on this and have demonstrated an excellent response to the task. Your still images are strong because they capture the action you describe in your written explanations and use space and levels well. Your comments are very detailed and give the context of each image and how each group member showed their character. I love that you have given examples of how body language was used. Great work. 8/8 Criterion D
