Whilst researching more specific examples of symbolism (semiotics) and the impact this has on an audience's perception of a story within an image, I started to pinpoint the things I want to look at in relation to the subject matter. Tone is something that is incredibly important to my practice, and along with the application and consideration of composition, I want to look at the mystery and ambiguity. I want to eventually show my work to people and record differences in their opinions of what is happening within the image. Choosing a theme like ghost stories means that a certain amount of imagination and personal input is required. It is more difficult to define elements of which cannot be proven. Therefore, an ambivalent starting point for my images will hopefully provide a basis for a variety of responses that I can compare and analyse.
