Photo Genre Task

In this task we had to take photographs, in which we had to try and convey a selected genre. The genres that were assigned were Comedy, Action, Rom-com and fantasy, below are the pictures that we took.
Fantasy
In this picture we tried to convey fantasy by using the tree. The tree is a symbol of a forest which is where a lot of the stereotypical fantasy stories take place. In the photo you can see the girl standing behind the tree this entices the viewer into thinking what lies behind the tree? Is there some kind of mystical land or world lying behind?  You can also see the pair of feet hanging from the branch; this also is quite mysterious and intriguing to someone viewing the photo.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Action
This is the action shot we took. It pictures the boy in the starting position for a sprint race, which gives the impression that some form of explosive action is about to take place. The picture gives off quite a serious vibe by the look on the actors face conveying serious concentration and the way he is staring dead ahead completely in the zone.




 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Comedy

The next photo is comedy themed. The comedy in this photo is shown by the boy being put in the bin by the girl, with the girl standing over him about to shut the lid. This holds quite slapstick comical value and is amusing due to the fact that the boy is much larger than the girl yet he has been bullied into the bin.

 

 
 
 

 
Rom-Com
 We have conveyed the genre of romantic comedy in a very simple yet effective way, with a hug. The show of affection between the two characters gives clear romantic element to the photo.
