Genres

Genres: Every film has a genre which appeal to different audiences.

Action:

This photo went well because of the fact that we can clearly see the genre because of the actions of the character in the image, in this case forcefully opening doors. The person is centred in the frame, showing that he would be the main focus of the film, as this is where the viewer would naturally look, and this is reinforced by the symmetrical nature of the photograph. The angle of the photograph, along with the minor low key lighting and contrast between light and dark colours add a dramatic, intense feel to the image, which goes along with the genre of action. The way in which the persons face is not shown adds to this dramatic feel

Comedy:

This photo shows off the comedy genre well because what is being shown in this image clearly shows the viewer it is comedy by the action taking place. We usually associate someone falling off their chair with comedy and laughter which is why I think this was a good picture to chose. We used high-key lighting to give it a happy tone which also helps convey the comedy side of it.

Horror:

We used this picture because it only shows half of the face which makes it mysterious because we don't know whats on the other side of the face. I have  used low key lighting to add to the mysterious effect because it shows less. By using black and white it reminds the viewer of old fashioned horror which is considered the scariest

Rom Com:

I chose this photo because we can see the girl is very happy which suggests she is in love and she is on the phone to a boy which is a stereotypical image for a rom com. We used high key lighting to reflect the happiness of the girl and to make it as realistic as possible because girls who watch these films often hope this will happen to them. We took the shot inside school because this is where typical romance films are set.

Sci-Fi:

I used this image because it doesnt give anything away about the plot line, so it leaves the viewers mind open for imagination as to what it will be about and this will also make them want to see the film more. This image is good because is shows wire and silver which are commonly seen in sic-fi and space based films. It also further illustrates the genre with the lighting, we used high key lighting at the front to clearly show whats in the image and low key lighting at the back to give the photo a gloomy and mysterious feel.
