As in the scene there is little light, except for the glow of the nearby fire. It highlights Peter's expression to show that things are not working out in his favor, as he had hoped. With his face mostly shadowed by the dark, it reveals that he is most likely plotting something sinister. The lighting also pinpoints on his posture - it shows that he is being watchful, or keen to keep a close eye on someone or something else. While he is observing the scene there is a look of determination to get what he wants. 
This image shows the concept of 'Décor' . Regina's office is highly stylized and extravagant. It shows how as the mayor of Storybrooke she has wealth and power. As the image shows that Regina is in her home territory, it also displays the conic symbolism of the fairy tale 'Snow white and the seven dwarves' in placing the red apples - another symbol of Regina's power in the front part of the shot.
This scene visualizes Morgana's dream,
and terror - seen from the viewpoint of a 'matte shot'. Morgana's terror at the possibility of her and her dragon Aithusa being captured is pronounced from the angle it is shot at - as the camera focuses on Morgana, while the well she is stuck in envelops the shot. It shows the conditions of how she and her dragon are being kept prisoner - and how her terror manifests at the thought of losing to Arthur and her enemies. 
This scene portrays the example of 'costume'. A large part of the Doctor's personality develops when he changes into a new form - and essentially changes all aspects of who he is, including personality. Each Doctor's costume is their signature 'style'. It can even extend to a part of their personality. While both are dressed in formal suits the 11th Doctor's (left) signature clothing article is the bow tie - as his character always mentions how 'cool they are'. The 10th Doctor (right) usually displays a long brown trench coat or brown / blue suit. This can personify his flippant personality. Both costumes almost never change - as it is one way to differentiate between characters and their 'time'.
This frame is an example of 'off -screen space'. The two characters Mary Margaret (Snow White) and Emma appear to be looking off screen - towards something else - their postures suggest an oncoming enemy as they are readying their weapons. Mary Margaret (right) is looking at the unknown entity as a threat so she is shown leveling her bow in a cautionary manner. Emma (left) is shown looking concerned as she is deciding what to make of the new threat. 
The concept depicted in this shot is classified as 'shallow focus'. The image clearly is modeled to exaggerate Jim's features and his expression. Everything else surrounding Jim; the interior of the pool, the background colors, even Sherlock's gun - pointed at him is blurred out of the shot. It is a clear stance to show Moriarty in his essence of character. The shot focuses on him only and does so in a manner that the audience can get a further description of who Moriarty really is.
This depiction of Snow White and Prince Charming's wedding is an example of 'color'. The way that the colors are placed around the area of the chapel shows the mood of the scene - happy. To the white of Snow's wedding dress (a portrayal of new found innocence and joy) to the large variety of colorful characters in the background show that the moment on screen is an Jubilant one. Even the stained glass in the very back show a wide array of colors - to further develop the idea of celebration.
This image has the analogy of 'deep focus'. As Sherlock Holmes and John Watson arrive for their first case together they are accompanied by Lestrade (Scotland Yard). The image focuses mainly on Sherlock and Watson's deductive work, but still keeps notice of Lestrade observing their work from the background. This image keeps focus on all elements and figures in the room - the dead woman, Sherlock and Watson determining the murder case and the watchful eye of Lestrade in the back. All characters are caught and remain in focus for this shot to show the attitudes of the men and the character interaction between them.
The concept that is illustrated in this scene is 'framing'. As Jefferson (the mad hatter) is surrounded by piles and piles of hats - they create a frame around him. The image shows his work - the hats, and his slow descent into madness. The hats border him from every side - he is surrounded by his masterpieces, and failures. He is practically drowning in his craft, suffocating in it as he works. The hats suffice as an idea for him, hope and freedom. But at the same time is eclipsed by his failure. He is bound by the hats and as a result goes mad.
The representation of this image is known as 'exposure'. In this scene Merlin is found burying the sword Excalibur into the stone. The lighting, or exposure in the scene is cropped around Merlin. Bright light filters right where he is standing - to illuminate the likeness and power of both the sword and Merlin. While the background forest landscape is dark in contrast. The light shining on Merlin is an example of overexposure - as the light is filtered right around Merlin much like a resemblance of a halo.
