Originally, I used a picture of a circus elephant carrying a dog to represent the animals from //Assignment America.// The picture was taken from Flickr Commons in which it was originally a more friendlier setting. In the background there was a large crowd watching the circus stunt in amusement. In the middle ground, behind the elephant was probably a trainer wearing a cowboy's costume. I changed the color to more of a sepia and reddish- yellow to give it a sort of mysterious and scary effect as if the elephant was evil and walking among flames. I basically kept the size, pose, type of shot and framing the same because i wanted the elephant to stay exactly in the same place it already was in order to make the reddish- yellow color appear more like flames around the elephant rather than just a background color. The lighting was changed from warming and friendly dark colors to sort of a bright and demonic feel. I took out the background people and objects so that the picture is focused mainly on the elephant and dog. Finally, I added the title "The Dog Disappearance" to give it an even more mysterious effect.
