Donalphant Trump


I find this picture unique and interesting for multiple reasons. The image of the elephant resembles Trump’s stature, behavior, and political position. His stature as a multibillionaire makes him a strong and prominent force within the political campaign. He has become like a huge elephant racing toward his competitors with his strong opinions and standings. He has the power of a raging elephant because of his personal power and wealth, which has been a major factor in separating him from the other candidates. Also coming in to the running he was like a quiet and peaceful force but has awakened with a great following and support as he is gaining fast on the others. Outside of the factors that relate to his running, his personality and attitude towards the election has resembles the image of the raging elephant. His most popular slogan talks about wanting to make America great again. He is pushing hard for patriotism, and saying radical things about only having Americans in the U.S. Like the picture with the flag behind it, Trump is defending his territory of America and wanting it to be strong like it was in the past decades, especially after World War 2. The most obvious symbol the elephant represents is the party in which he associates himself, the Republicans. The “charging elephant” does specify the specific image of Trump by showing him as the more radical and pushing Republican.

My Voice in My Work

Most of my work is found in the medium of film. A common aspect found in a lot of my work is the idea of immersion. I often try to incorporate either dynamic movement and/ or lighting within my pieces. With the dynamic movement of the camera I try to make the audience feel more apart of the world they are viewing by moving their view around the characters as if they’re next to them. Also with camera movement I am able to show a lot more of the world in which these characters are apart of and therefore have the audience have a stronger connection and understanding to the world in the film. 

With dynamic lighting I am able to separate the audience’s world and the world of the characters. The lighting also helps grab the attention of the audience, and motivates them to find out more about this unique world. The lighting in my films often is changing as the characters mood or the tone changes to help bring the audience closer to the characters.
