This image
is in a 1.33:1 aspect ratio. It is a full-body shot of eight young boys
standing in a loose V-formation. They stand unevenly, arranged by height with
the tallest in front and the smallest in the back on the right. The boy in
front and center of their formation is on the left third of the shot. The shot
is angled slightly below eye-level. All of the boys are wearing shorts and some
sort of long-sleeved shirt, mostly sweaters, though one of them is wearing his
school uniform. About half of them are wearing hats, in a variety of types.
They are standing outside, in a mostly empty field with very little grass, and
with a fence behind them. In the background on the right there are dark hills
and a water tower in the distance, and houses on the left.
This shot
says quite a bit about the setting, since the field is obviously undeveloped,
and the houses, fence and water tower are not particularly extravagant, with
quite a bit of space in between them. This suggests that the characters and the
area they are in are not very prosperous. The arrangement they are standing in,
specifically in height order, demonstrates how power is distributed among them.
They are all wearing long sleeves, but because they are also wearing shorts it
does not seem to be because they are cold. Particularly because one boy is
wearing his school uniform, it can be assumed that they are wearing sweaters to
conceal their uniforms, and because they are still wearing shorts, it can also
be assumed that they did not take the time to go home and change, so they were
in a hurry to disassociate themselves from the rigidity of their school.
