Ophelia(2001)
I think she has it all and yet she has cried a thousand tears and now she is sinking in her loneliness.

The art work expresses sadness through the climate of rain, and the loneliness as the man standing in the middle of the work is looking down with his hands out showing a guilty emotion. it is kept within the dark range of colours, there are no people around him, it looks like an empty and quiet town.

Ophelia has the mood of loss, everything is ruined as the objects in the house is half wet, the women who is on top of the water looks as if she has no soul and is broken inside. It is a depressing art work, and a little disturbing in away, that it is so creepy. actually the women looks like shes dead..

This film still again gives off a feel of surrealism and a mood of uncertainty. The image provides an isolated feeling again as the image provides an alluring and imaginative thought in the audiences mind. Because the image looks like its a film still, it gives off an imaginative, but intense narrative. As the audience can some what grasp an understanding but is lost through the surrealism and paranormal of the image. Because Crewdson plans significantly ahead of what the film still will be, it conveys an experience that is intensely real. Again the image focuses on a classical american landscape with a surreal twist. Crewdson is able to use special effects to portray his message.

'Orphelia'...this one is obviously as been based on Shakespeare's play Macbeth..as Orphelia drowns and dies...
but this photo is more...contemporary stylised..i suppose..
unlike how death is mostly portrayed as...i think this artwork can seem rather not disturbing..maybe its because of all the lights are on and bright and the fact that the setting is..like normal houses..average people's lifestyle i suppose. BUT i find this disturbing...very disturbing...almost scary...
- because of the 'BRIGHT LIGHTING' its the thing to cause the water to look black...so it creates the sense of sucked into darkness after death
-the lighting causing the reflection of everything upside down...suggesting that there is another dimension underneath
-so maybe this is suggesting the image of heaven and hell and the body in between is not actually dead but portraying normal human beings. The fact that the body is inbetween the 2 different stages, it almost looks like tha the girl is yet to be decided what is to come...

Untitled(2005)
It seems that finally the drought has broken and his wife, who died on that same road, is not here to bathe in the glory of this rain with him at the end.

This first image brings across a very intense and paranormal feel. From the image it shows quite a psyche feel from the darkness of the landscape and the emptiness of the streets besides the one man in the middle of the road. The image itself I get a feeling of a stormy night, in a deserted town where the business man holds out his hand in a very mysterious way. The emotion i feel from the man is as if he had a purpose of destination however had spiritual or very theatrical thought. Because Crewdson produces film stills, this gives off a classical interpretation of American life. This image is also quite alluring but also confusing as the time and place isn't known and the landscapes are realistic with imagination twisted in.

First of all..is this picture really titled as 'untitled' or is it untitled coz it was actually untitled??? if if was titled to be untitled then...it seems...melancholy, i suppose
but if it was untitled coz the author was cbfed about making a title then it's fully different....
another strange thing is...is it actually raining in the picture??
like I know the ground is wet and it seems like there are streaks going through the pictures but
because the man has short hair and wearing dark clothes (black) the wetness cannot really be detected as well as the ground around man doesnt look wet at all due to the lighting
Anywho..the overall emotion im getting from this picture is that ....um....possibly....um.. truly? i dont know...but maybe a sense of hope??? or maybe aliveness...
this is bcoz:
- the lights are still on at the shops and upstairs..im presuming thats the homes, thus, somehow reflecting that its not closed yet (so sense of it hasn't ended?? or finished?)
- the man has 'placed' his briefcase and walked..quite far away from the car and is standing tall...im accentuating the 'placing' of briefcase coz if u were sad or angry u would probs thrown or dropped his briefcase rather than placed. Also the fact he walked away from the car shows independent-ness...maybe..and the fact that he is standing very tall..like a pencil. This reveals his personal self-confidence? his not slouching or anything. And his hand out at the front symbolises..openess..
Somehow i feel like the crossing is quite important too. maybe...reaching the other side of the road?? which somehow does relate back to the hope
