Genre Picture Task

We were given this task and we were given 4 genre's that we'd have to portray in each picture that we took.


Here are the 4 genre's which I was given:

  • Comedy

  • Romance

  • Horror

  • Action


Comedy
In this picture, an element of comedy was attempted to be on display. This can be seen by the actor's positive facial expression, (in this case- a smile), which wouldn't be seen if the punch was done in a violent or unhappy situation.



Horror

In this picture, an element of horror was attempted to be on display. This can be seen by the relatively dark colours used and the only colour being red. The colour red has mainly negative connotations in this picture as it is coming from a dying/dead animal. The knife is centralised on the picture which shows that it's the main focus for the poster.



Action

In this picture, an element of action was attempted to be on display. This can be seen due to the actors heroic posture, and the grimace on his face suggests determination. The fact that he's carrying someone suggests that there are elements of strength and perhaps bravery involved.



Romance

In this picture, an element of romance was attempted to be on display. This can be seen due to the actress' posture which could be seen as shy, mourning or upset. The fact that she's wearing all black could have negative connotations of sadness, or could suggest that she's a mysterious character.
