1) I used the mirror because it is gold in colour, and this means that the mirror would be very valuable since golden mirrors are not made these days. I also added a "dazzling" or "glistering" effect on the mirror, making it look more rare and precious. I made a wall between the artifact and the audience, making it look like this is a very important artifact. I also use an ancient background, making the artifact look ancient and precious. For the second and third picture, I darkened the main character to show that it is very dark. For the last picture, I showed the main character's expression. I also minimized the "glistering" effect for people to see the mirror more clearly.

2) The ancient background contributes to the setting. This background shows people that this is in an ancient museum. The mirror (the artifact) and its "glistering" effect contributes to the plot that this is a precious golden mirror put on display at the museum. There are also different people looking at the display with awe. This contributes to the plot that this mirror is one and only in the world and it is put up on display. For the main character, I gave him an evil look to show that he is a man that is not up to something good. For the second and third picture, I darkened the main character to show that it is very dark and this enhances the fact that he is not a good man. This contributes to the plot that the main character is trying to steal the mirror. For the last picture, I showed the main character's expression to show how shocked he is. I also minimized the "glistering" effect to make the mirror look "fake". This contributes to the plot that the mirror is actually a replica, not the real artifact.

3) I coloured the mirror to a golden colour and gave it a "glistering" effect. This contributes to my theme that this is something that glisters. (In my theme: All that glisters is not gold, something must "glister" first) For the last picture, I make the main character look shocked and enlarged some words scribbled on the mirror. The words scribbled means that the mirror is just a replica of the original mirror that is hidden by governments. This also contributes to my theme because it shows how people can be fooled by the appearance of someone or something. Finally, I added the picture of William Shakespeare in the "mind" of the main character. This also contributes to my theme because William Shakespeare "invented" this phrase in his play: Merchant Of Venice. William Shakespeare already taught us this lesson through his play but people are still being fooled by the appearance of someone or something till this day. These themes tells the lesson that we should look not just the appearance of something or someone, but also deep into the person's heart or the thing.
