World Record:
Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain scored the most points in a single game in NBA history. He scored 100 points by himself and the record has stood for 38 years. I tried to portray that by Wilt acting as a 1 and the two basketballs he's holding as 0's.
Point of View:
"Heads Up"
The away team is behind by one point and it is the last minute of the game. They have the opportunity to bring it back and tie the game to go into overtime. This one kick gives them the chance that they have been waiting for all season. The kicker is ready to take the shot, and send both teams into overtime. The winner of this game, will be crowned conference champions.

Process
We came across the idea of religion because it's a concept that is prevalent in our everyday lives. We then decided that we should focus on two specific religions (Catholicism and Muslim). These two religions often collide, so we wanted to show that people are people and shouldn't be judged because of their preference in religion. Peace is represented in the chapel regardless of what our group members believed in.
Synopsis
Each photo has a different meaning and representation of how we view the world in religion. Our photos consist of the cross, which is a worldwide symbol for catholicism, with hands praying cropped on the photo, representing prayer and religion. The other photos are through the vision of a hijab, which represents the muslim religion. That is a combination of 3 photos. We edited all of the photos to be in black and white to show that religion isn't a black and white issue. Religion isn't something that can devalue or add value to an individual. It's a play off of that idea. The final photo of the chapel, representing the neutral views of religion, there is no specific faith that goes into that place. It then shows life and death by the haunting ghost-like figure as well as the contrast of black and white which represents life and death. Also, the creepy organ player in the back playing obvious sound.
Symbolism of the Catholic faith. This photo of the cross was taken in front of the basilica in Rome, one of the most famous basilica's in italy.
Double Entendre, Metaphor, Reduction Form/Symbol
This represents the Muslim's view from their hijab. It shows the progression of this person religiously following their faith in the chapel.
Multi-Frame, POV/Perspective, Framing of the image
This photo is taken in the chapel in order to symbolism peace. The chapel is a place where all religions are welcomed to worship according to their own choosing. It is meant to symbolize harmony amongst religion and represent how all people are equal. We can all find common ground regardless of our differences in life styles/views. Also the presence of the ghost-like figure represents life and death. A chapel is usually a place full of life and we contrasted this notion with the ghost in this photo.
Life and Death, Implied Sound
