We didn't plan to take a film still of a film with a Roman genre, but this is what we ended up with. I think the colours work together with the stance of the figure to make this quite evident.
The robe was what inspired us to take this shot as it is such a bright red, which seems to be very stereotypically Roman. Unintentionally, the background colours also look very roman as they are the colours of a column or something. The shot is pretty light at the top right but it gets pretty dark toward the bottom of the image, perhaps this hints that the film will be about some sort of uprising.
The stance of the figure gives the sense that she has a lot of power and leadership, but maybe to have increased this sense we should have taken the photo from a lower angle where the camera is looking up at her. Also there isn't much emotion on her face which makes her seem quite serious which, I guess, is a quality of a leader. Also she is looking up, which could signify hope.
A great shot! Useful reflections here overall;try to cover all the questions next time though.
