| Horror |
In this photo the setting is a deserted school playground, we chose this setting because we thought it made the whole location more scary because school can be associated with bad memories of bullying and because of this the deserted school playground makes the audience question why it is empty. The theme of this shot is horror we know this because we can see the teddy bear leaning up against the bench, this makes the photo more scary because the bear could be the reason the school is empty, further more the lone teddy bear could be associated to young children and no one wants anything to happen to someone young so the audience instantly begins to worry about the safty of the school site. The icons and props in this sceen is the teddy bear and the bench in the center of the photo, we used these because we thought they created a scary atmosphere because the bear is positioned in such a way as it is staring directly down the shot almost as if it is watching. The plot of this photo could be menising because the teddy bear is staring directly at the camera as if it is waiting to make its move. To improve the narative we could have added some charrecters in laying on the grass dead to show the bear had done something dreadfull therefore enhancing the whole plot and making the whole sceen more scary. In this photo we can see that it has been edited with a sepia effect to make the whole shot look older as if the bear has been doing its horrible work over a number of years. The whole shot has been taken from a distance to make the bear look tiny in relation to the building but despite this we feel the bear has huge power over everyting. To make this photo better we could have added a number of charrecters laying on the grass with makeup to look pale as if they had been dead a while.

| Sci - Fi |
This picture the setting is part of the school which is under going building work we chose this location because we felt it looked futuristic and the ideal place for a science fiction film because they are usually filmed in futuristic locations. The fact there is no living people or plants emphasises how Sci - Fi is a genre heavily reliant on computer generated images because of the futuristic technology which is often featured again for this reason we chose this image because we felt it was a cold and lifeless setting perfect for the inhabitance of creatures from out of this world.
