This is probably on of those homework question!. If it is, shame, shame, shame for not listening in class or reading your book!. I'll give you some help!.

Number 1!. Question is not specific enough!. Are you asking the setting of the camera or the scene!. The camera depends on what kind of film or camera setting was used!. The scene, was artificially lighted, and both used a primary and secondary color!. The one with the military theme used a primary color of red and yellow!. The other used a primary of blue and secondary in orange!. Any other input will be just a guess, based on what you are asking (don't know where those question is related to)!.

Number 2: There are 3 angles!.
1) High angle (where the camera is pointed/looking down)
2) Low angle (where the camera is pointed/looking up)
3) Normal Eye level (where the camera is pointed horizontally - you could be eye level low on the ground and up a ladder as long as it is horizontal)

Number 3: It's called Perspective!. There are three of them!.

1) Aerial perspective - depends on the fact that blue light waves are scattered by tiny particles in the atmosphere (which are nearly the size of the blue waves) more easily than are the much longer red light waves!. This is why the daytime sky is blue and sunsets are reddish!. The atmosphere is not perfectly clear!. We usually see some dust and haze!. Therefore, when distances are considerable, the farther away an object is from the viewer, the bluer it appears from blue light scattering and the less contrast it has because of dust and haze!.

2) Spatial perspective - is a scale effect!. For a well known object, say a person, the smaller the person appears in a scene, the farther away they are perceived to be!.

3) Geometric perspective - is based on the concept of one or more "vanishing point(s)" at the horizon!. Objects are perceived to have height and width when nearby or at middle distance!. But they seem to get smaller and smaller with increasing distance, finally vanishing as tiny points!. The classic example of this effect is the view of the rails of a railroad track, seeming to converge and vanishing at a point on the horizon!.


Pick one from number 2 and one from number 3!. Number 1, not sure what you mean!. I'll check back to see if you need help from what I gave you here!.

==============================
ADDITION:

1)The photo has unnatural setting to depict the surrealism of the images, as it is like a weird dream or a nightmare!.

2) The angle or viewpoint of the photographer is at eye level and shot horizontally - standing up!. This heighten and effectively give that symetrically perspective of the photographs!. With it, it gives the feeling of tunnel-vision or vanishing point to make a point!. Using this angle illustrates (the picture with the person curled up in a protective position) a much powerful feeling of being suffocated or being annihilate by the military toy figures which can symbolize anything from mental anxiety to world problems!. With the blue room, the used of dark shade, the floating fishes and the viewpoint that give that narrowing perspective amplify the feeling of claustrophobia!.

3) The common techniques were the used of depth of field and geometic perspective!. Using a short lens (wide angle), it gave a deeper dimension to the pictures to emphasized depth!.

But just as Roxy said, it's all different to the individuals!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
