Genre Analysis


Seasonal
We decided to show seasonal with an Autumnal theme rather
than the stereotypical Christmas theme - however, showing boots surrounded by dry leaves hints at Autumn leading into Winter, which leaves a wide scope for imagination at the time period of the (theoretical) film.
The warm, reddish-brown colour of the leaves, and lighter background colours show that this film would be cosy and light-hearted.

Sports
For our sport themed film, we decided to use a minimalistic image of a single basketball in an empty gym, focussing the camera and leaving the background blurred. This ensures that the ball is the main focus point, which is also solidified by the bright red hue of the ball. The eye-catching, neon red also insinuates that there could be an element of excitement and danger in the film - alongside the minimalistic approach we took to the image, this ensures the viewer's attention has been snagged and is left wondering about the film's plot.

 

Our minimalistic theme carried on to this image, which shows some children's books propped up near a sign that says 'Family Story'. This shows that this photo would be of the family friendly genre and very PG so children would be able to watch it.

  1. I like the way you play with depth of field in these photos Lucy, although I think your family genre could be improved.
