task 1 genre

GANGSTER

I could identify the genre of this film by the mannerism of the characters whom seem very violent and dangerous. I could infer this by the characters holding guns and gambling which is displayed in common gangster film, it has a strong mob type fee, to the screen cap of this film. I could also understand by the style of clothing they are wearing which indicates late 1950's which is gangster era.



WESTERN

I identify the film as a western as there a clear display of a man (Clint Eastwood) wearing a classic poncho on a horse, with a nose, that was frequently used in that western culture there is also the setting/location  of a vase dry of land.





ACTION

I could see that this would be a fast pace film indicated by the cars and the Tank, I could also tell this by the man leaping from one car to another, I could also tell this by the Tank crushing the car.



ROM/COM

I could identify this by the scenario of a women and man in an office, the pair seem to be happy engaging in conversation indicated there is chemistry.



WAR/ACTION

I could establish that the film had a war genre by the destruction and the chaos, I could also associated war with this screen cap by the uniform that the characters are wearing and the war craft in the background.

THRILLER



HORROR

I prefer the horror genre as it is easy to replicate there is a large sub divisions to this genre such as, supernatural and fictional. such as "Paranormal activities" which I like a it has a 'realistic' point of view as is documented on the characters phone or camera, giving you the viewer their perspective.

I also prefer action as there Is a wide selection of films such as "kick ass" as it displays I high intensity of action and is comically designed with the addition of graphics and design.

IDENTIFYING GENRES

KICK ASS

 I think this film belongs in the genre of action as by the title Indicating it action packed, this is also displayed by the bold typography and the close shot of the main characters. There are also the use of violent props such as knifes and batons. it is easy to tell the genre by the strapline as well as the graphics used .

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS

I think is film is a romantic teen film , as the two characters are face to face and appear to be teenagers. there seems to display a lot of affection between the two characters that could be assumed as the main  characters. Is was easy to identify this film as a romantic teen film as was elements of love and a connection between the two characters.

HOW TO TRAIN A DRAGON

 I think this film is a kids/ animated film as it has the fictional character of a dragon and its clearly CGI/digital created , we could see this by the characters flying through a ring of fire. It is easy to see that this is a kids film as the attraction of a dragon appeal to the young and the poster contains bold colour which appeals to the target audience
