Pictures Taken For Movie Genre's

Applying the DISTINCT conventions 

Crime/Action

In this Photo the setting is unknown because all you can see is a grey background so this could be virtually anwhere this adds a sense of mystery as we do not know where the person is. The theme for this photo is based on a crime and also it makes the person looking at the photo question what is inside the breifcase. The icons inside this photo is the hand and also the lock combination, the hand has got a tight grip on the breifcase showing that the person trying to get in as they are desperate to find out what is inside it. The lock combination is the colour gold which could mean that the thing inside it is worth a lot of money.







Horror



In this photo the setting is an abandoned school playground with a single teddy bear resting against a bench, the theme of the picture is black and white which shows everything is basic and normal, however the teddy is red which implies evil and also directs your attention towards the teddy. The icon in the image is the teddy, the teddy links towards a child which is associated with fun, life and youth however the teddy is on its own maybe left abandoned which then makes the viewer ask why and also where is the owner and also why is there nobody around.
