Experimenting with Sub-Genres

Bird eyes' view-                
This photo was a picture of George taken from above of him leaning on a wall. The sub-genre that this picture is showing is that of crime Thrillers. It shows this genre by it being in a somewhat shifty location that would be commonly associated with hiding and hiding would therefore be associated with crime. As after committing a crime you hide so you don't get caught. This photo has a good composition and is well lit. This means that you can clearly see what is in the picture and what it is trying to portray. This picture could have been better if it was all taken at the same level as the bottom frame was at a slight angle; making the picture look slightly angled.

High angle-            
This photo was taken of Naomi sitting on the floor curled up in a ball from a high angle. This photo shows the Thriller sub-genre of Psychological Thrillers. This genre is shown through the picture as Naomi is portrayed as sad; she is experiencing something psychological. This photo was good because it was completely in focus and the angel it was taken at was correct. However, to make it better it could be edited to a lower contrast and the edges could be faded to place more epathesis on the subject and to bring a more meaningful idea to the picture.

                  I did this task so that I could learn how to easily show sub-genres through imagery. I have learnt that in some cases it can be hard to represent some sub-genres as they can be ambiguous to some extent. Furthermore, this will help me in my opening sequence as it has shown me how critical it is use angels and different shot types to represent certain ideas about genres. I will especially use what I learned from the high angle shot to help me create an effective psycho thriller.
