The Big Day

A man is driving in a hurry to get to the wedding of an assumed past girlfriend to stop it. He runs into many obstacles on the way. We can see the worry in both the man driving and the older man, the assumed father of the bride to whether or not he will make it on time. The man ends up arriving too late.

Who- a past boyfriend
What- is in a hurry
Where- the church
When- before the wedding starts
Why- to stop it
How- in his new VW jetta

The past boyfriend of the soon to be bride hurries down a long winding road through the rain, coming face to face with many obstacles as he tries to reach the church before the bride is officially married. Both the man and the father of the bride sit in worry as they wonder if he will make it on time. The bride also wonders if her past love will make it before she's married to sweep her away. Although he faces many challenges, his new Jetta VR6 stands to the test carrying him through the horrible weather and leading him to his destination. He finally arrives at the church to find that he is too late. Both the man and bride are both devastated.

Angles and Shapes

 I chose this because there are many different angles and shapes basically that your eye attracts to. They are also not plain rectangles and right angles.

Details

 I chose detail because there are many small ideas inside this picture. There is the walls which have pattern, to the window that looks very busy, to the feathers which are the main aspect.

Light

 I chose light because the light is reflecting the building back onto the water. Also, there are the light rays coming out from behind the building where we can tell the light source is.

Surroundings

 I chose surroundings because we can see a little bit of everyday life in the back left corner. We are shown the entire building and part of the city.

Pattern

I chose pattern because we can see the bricks on the building which in turn make a pattern themselves. Each is the same size and is placed to make the same row and shape making the pattern.
