We did this for 6 different shots and discussed the outcomes in a group at the end.
This is the shot that caught my eye:
This shot is dimly lit for effect. This signifies a dark subject and tells the reader that the conversation the man is having is not a pleasant one. The background is nothingness, and highlights the isolation of the character (there is nothing else in his world). In the foreground, you can see an unfocused person, but only the back of their head. Also, the shaved head and uniform that the other person seems to be wearing may symbolize power, specifically a power that the man smoking is facing. The center of the shot is the ciggarette. This ciggarette represents his last choice in life and he seems to be holding a strong posture and smoking as if to say "I may not have anything else but at least I have ciggarettes."
