The end outcome is done to look similar to the painting by keeping the train in the image to make sure they look together to make them stronger. I decided to take the outcome of this being a landscape image and convert this to a portrait image. I have changed the way people will read the image and keep the focus on the subject by making some of the images have a strong negative space. The image is important to show the links to the beginning and the end of mental health journey. As I have mentioned in the statement of intent, “The end images are going to be done with the inspiration of jasper James, with the subject becoming hidden because of the reliance in the phone.” This has been shown by placing the subject in the mobile phone to show the links to mental health. The way I wanted people to be affected by viewing is that it is an advert for Calm because of the use of branding in the work. I have also shown that we are all consumed by looking at our mobile phone so I decided to do it twice with the subject having it in there hand in front of the train and with it bigger with the viewer looking into the mobile phone. The image speaks of mental health with the use of the colour blue can mean feelings of calmness or serenity or it can mean being sad, alone as also known in the music genre the blues (Cherry, 2019).
When comparing the end outcome with the painting I have made sure there are similar themes underlying the work and complete contrast. The similarity between the painting and the outcome is that they both have leading lines going down to the edge of the picture, this shown in the platform and the train in my end image while with Turner he has used the viaduct and the train to draw the viewers attention down the end of the section and back again for greater effect. Both the Painting and the outcome have both got trains in them as this the main effect that I was recommended to bring across in a group criticism, to make sure they look similar, I have used an electric British rail class 375 while turner has a used a steam train to make sure they are not directly copying each other. The differences are that I have made is that I have turned it into a portrait and made this stand out to the public. While the other difference is that I have used the subject and placed into the mobile phone. Overall I am pleased how the image in the phone links to what I had set out to do.
