Experimenting with Sub-Genres

Over-the-shoulder shot

The sub-genre for the picture could be related to horror, because of the religious imagery, and religious symbols can often be associated with horrors.

For this shot we found that the angling for over the shoulder went well, as it highlights the sub-genre. However, if we were to make the shot better we would try and get a better angle over the shoulder to get the more distinct camera angle off being over the shoulder.

Close up shot

I think that this photo shows an action shot, through the movement of the camera when taking this photo, when giving the blurred effect, which shows that it is an psychological thriller.

Something that went well with this picture is the distinct movement with the smile on the face and the blurred focus on the picture. If we were to make an improvement to the picture, we would try and make the camera focus more on the smile, as it may not be clear to all what the picture should be indicating.
