Genre Picture Task

Screenshots of Genres In one of our lessons we took pictures of static shots of genres our genres were musical and historical. The first picture is the genre historical this is shown because we are wearing army helmets this represents is suppose to represent world war 1.

The second picture is the genre musical this is shown by us holding the guitar and a trumpet because they represent the genre of music and are some of the more well known instruments when you think of music because its been presented that way in movies or TV shows so thats how the generation today would think when you say musical instruments.

The two genres that we were given are very different to one another because musicals are stereotypically seen as quite happy and appeals to a large group of people, while with historical one of the main events of history are the World Wars which were horrific and seen as depressing because of the millions of people who lost there lives for their country.

The way we framed our picture was that we made sure that obviously in both times we were in view and that we were in the middle of the frame so if there was more in the picture you would know what the main focus of the picture and maybe be able to tell what the picture is trying to show you. What went well in the pictures that the props added to the picture so the army helmets for the historical picture and the instruments for the musical picture to show that there is a clear difference in both pictures. It would be even better if i didn't smile when the picture was taken because it does take away from the genres that we are trying to present.
