3. WHAT IS IN THE CENTRE OF THE
IMAGE?
In the centre of the image, there is Kanye West attacking a member
of the press who are following him.

4. WHAT IS ON THE PERIPHERY?
The periphery includes a car and buildings, there isn't really a lot out
of the ordinary.

5. WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED
DIRECTLY BEFORE IT WAS TAKEN?
I think that the member of press said something that annoyed Kanye
or followed him to provoke him.

6. WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED
DIRECTLY AFTER IT WAS TAKEN?
The fight was either escalated or broken up.

7. HAS THE PHOTO BEEN STAGED?
No because the image features a genuine reaction, it is by
paparazzi who usually take advantage of spur of the moment
reactions from celebrities

8. IS THE ENTIRE PHOTO IN OR OUT OF
FOCUS?
Kanye West and the paparazzi are in focus and the rest is slightly
out of focus.

9. HOW IS THE LIGHTING?
It looks like the flash has been used judging by the reflection on
Kanye’s face and the background suggests that it is indoors, making
it darker.

CThRereO isnP’t aPnyI NcroGppi?ng in the picture, nothing needed to be taken out.

11. WHAT AGE, GENDER OR ETHNICITY
ARE THEY?
Kanye West is 37 years old, male and black
The press member looks around the same age (not a good view),
male and white

12. WHAT CAN YOU TELL ABOUT THEM
FROM THEIR DRESS OR SITUATION?
Judging by the situation, Kanye looks to have a short temper and
the press member looks to be provoking a reaction for a good story.

13. WHERE ARE THEY LOOKING?
Kanye is looking into the distance and the press member’s eyes are
being covered.

14. WHAT ANGLE IS IT TAKEN FROM?
The shot is from a medium angle which shows the action of the
picture.

15. WHAT IS THE POSTURE?
Both of them are hunched over since they are fighting, this shows
they are both putting effort into it. They’re both putting on a fighting
stance.
