Genre Picture Task

Romantic Comedy

 For our romantic comedy picture, we took a decided that someone on the phone, while laughing would be a good representation of the genre. The laughter helps imply the comedic elements of the genre and the phone is there to symbolize the relationship. The main idea is that she is on the phone to someone she is in a relationship and laughing about something.

Action

 For the action picture, we decided that an image of something happening in a dramatic fashion would be appropriate. Action movies tend to have stunts and things over the like done in an over the top manner and so our picture is of a set of doors being opening in an over the top manner. 

Horror

 Horror films are often dark and used low contrast lighting. For this reason we chose an unsettling sight with lots of dark in it. The composition of the shot, by only showing half the image of the person, is meant to give the audience an unsettled feel. By keeping the whole face hidden, and by showing half, the viewer of the picture is kept somewhat in the dark and should feel as though there is more to the picture than they can see.

Sci-fi

 Sci-fi films are usually futuristic and rely heavily on fancy, or advanced technology. Because of this our sci-fi image is of wires. These show the technology aspect of the genre and the silver foil can be seen as part of the technology as well. The lack of any organic elements to this picture represent the coldness of the genre, and how sci-fi uses things other than people or animals to tell a story.

Comedy

Our comedy picture is supposed to show an accident taking place. This is supposed to represent the more slapstick elements of comedy. As this is the main focus of the picture it should be clear that the image is from a comedy genre.
