Dominant and Alternate Representation of London

Dominant Representation

For my dominant reading of London, I have created a collage of several shots all filtered predominantly in the colours of the union jack: red, white and blue. In this, we can firstly see several stills of architecture which the area  is often well renowned for. In particular, its cathedrals. Also, I have included the London underground sign. London often is most well known for its superb transporting systems. To continue, I used shots of the iconic red telephone box and red busses. These are common conventions of London. Moreover,we can see shots of the narrow, cobble streets. Finally, we can see the Queen's guard, as London is also renowned for the royal family.

Alternate Representation 

This is my alternate reading of London. I have included several shots that depict a different reality than what other countries may see as us. For instance, I have included the British variety store chain, popular for its cheap products. As well as this, we have the well known attraction, known for being beautiful yet it is crowded. Moreover, we can see several stills of dirty walls with graffiti and mud. Along with this, we can see national gallery of London occupied overwhelmingly with pigeons. This is a common issue that often people outside of London are not aware of. Additionally, we can see the formidable issue referring to litter in London.  Finally, we can see the reality of a standard home in London. Rather than a glorified, glamorous house, the actuality is  "row-houses" or a "semi-detached home."
