The image on the right shows us a crowd of men locked behind bars. The men are all wearing unclean, cheap clothed material which makes them look poor and unfortunate. Moreover, you can see them reaching out to the dog trying to grab the keys off of it. The dog is a prop. The use of having a guard dog  there suggests the male characters shown have committed a crime and so if they try and escape the dog will go after them. Furthermore, the most light is shown on the characters, which allows us to see their facial expressions, what they are doing and what they are wearing. The shadows in the corners of the frame causes the audiences to only look at where there is most light as they are the main subjects in this frame. In addition, the frame Is set in a Victorian-like prison, which instantly tells us that the frame is set back in the early 1800s.

The frame on the right shows us a crowd of men all pointing their swords at one man standing on top of a pile of gold/treasure. You can see them wearing metal gear and helmets as well as them holding swords, which tells us that it’s set in the medieval times. In addition, the lighting is shown right in the centre of the frame which is where most of the drama is happening and is what the producer wants us to see. It clearly shows us what is happening in the frame and what can be seen such as the treasure, swords and the characters. Furthermore, the frame is set in a dark cave-like place as there are props such as rocks seen as well as water flowing through it. You can also see the men holding a fire which also tells us it could be a cave or a tunnel.

The frame on the right shows us crowd of pirates looking at one another. You can instantly tell they are pirates because of the props used. A few of the men are wearing pirate hats and clothes, baggy and dirty. Also some of them have long hair and beards which is what pirates have too. The main character, Captain Jack Sparrow is wearing a belt across his chest and around his waist which is where he either puts his guns or knives. Furthermore, the lighting used is high key lighting where a lot of light has been used to make It look like a sunny day; everything can be seen in this frame. The frame has been set on an island which adds to the pirate theme as well as the ship in the background.
