I just wanted to double check. For 2nd Choice, do I icon my second choice claim, or is it an interpretive theme?

[hyacinthos.livejournal.com]

Yes, your second claim. :)

[cool-spectrum.livejournal.com]

Perfect, thanks!

[aliens.livejournal.com]

haha, i just came to ask this too!

[gabby227.livejournal.com]

Could you explain wide crop to me? Is it anything like negative space?

[hyacinthos.livejournal.com]

It's a little like negative space, but where your subject is small and it's surroundings take up most of the space. You can either do this with a fake background or with it's natural background. I'm not sure how to explain wide crop in words, so I hope examples help!

That actually helps a lot, thank you so much, sweetie! :)

[hyacinthos.livejournal.com]

I'm glad. You're welcome! :D

[halliwell.livejournal.com]

For the goodbye prompt, does that mean your character leaving, his last scene if he/she didn't leave during the movie or he/she saying goodbye to someone? Or whatever you think it would mean?

[hyacinthos.livejournal.com]

It's however you interpret the theme. :)
