Q1-personally i think that Lear saluting throughout this scene was to exaggerate his trust and respect for his troops to the audience.however i also feel that it was cockiness, usually the person with the higher status is saluted to so him saluting to his troops was almost him saying ‘ i dont even need to worry i know you guys got me’.

– the frozen depiction i created consisted of lears army positioned opposite his daughters army.he is stood in-front of his army saluting with a smile on his face looking straight ahead.

-i made sure he was smiling so that audience would pick up on his confidence.in the previous scene he shot an innocent person so the audience would of already been aware that he was loosing his mind.so him smiling was to also concern the audience, the fact that he was smiling and just about to go to war was suppose to confuse the audience.
