Genre picture task

In class we were given the task of taking still images to represent a genre. We were given four genres these included:
  • Comedy
  • Romance
  • Thriller 
  • Horror 
Comedy
In this image we tried to show the genre was a comedy by using a the prop (the wig) which portrays the humorous side to a potential audience.  The stance of leaning over a toilet would make the audience what has happened to lead the person into such a funny situation. 

Thriller
We aimed to show thriller by using a briefcase to create intrigue. The facial expression suggests that something bad is going to happen which fits the genre of thriller.  

Romantic
Our aim was to show romance in this image. Which we tried to show with the characters holding hands. The wig makes the audience instantly recognize the traditional women and male couple always shown in romantic films.

Horror
In this image we turned the lights out to create darkness which is instantly associated with horror films. The facial expressions suggest fear and the character lurking in the background also makes it clear that the genre is horror.
