Genre picture task

This task was to try and show how pictures and genre are link and how picture can show the genre.

This picture is to represent the war genre. This is set in battle as she is just getting ready to shot someone while staring hidden. This is set outside as that is were the war is happening. It is a war happening at school which could show that war has taken over and is affecting everyday life. The fighter is female which shows the war is modern as females did not fight in the past. The picture is also taken from quite a distance which could mean that the camera is the person being shot at. This means that the picture is taken in first person.
This picture is to show drama. The picture does not show much however could imply that something dramatic about to happen. The fact that the setting is quite plan also does not show us much. However both the peoples body language tells us quite a lot. The person with the white tee shirt has quite a loud body language which shows that she is quite angry or annoyed about something. However the girl in the black shirt looks quite reserved and nervous. Also the fact that they are both teenage girls could imply that drama is never far away. The camera is taken away from what is happening to give the viewer a look at the how story is being layout in front of them. 
This picture represents fantasy because the fact they both have wands implies magic which is a fantasy idea. Both girls have wands in their hands which shows they could be in a dwell. However both their body languages show that it is not that serious. So this could show that they are in a practice situation. The girl in the black shirt looks like she is about to say some kind of  spell.The camera is away from the scene which could mean that the camera is someone looking on the scene happening in front of them. 

My evaluation of the genre photos.
I believe that these photos just about showed the genres however they lack any sort of facial expression which I believe could add to the photos. I also believe that we needed to think more about the background of the photo as that might have help show that genre was being portrayed.  I also believe that are body lanague could help also show what is going on. However it has helped me learn that they is more to a photo than what is in the picture it is also about the angle and lighting.
