Photo Analysis

In class we were set a task to go out and take four photos that would capture and image and relate to a genre and a target audience. We chose bits of paper out of a cup and we pulled out the genre horror and we needed to make it for a cinema loving audience. We went out into the playground and took photos which related to the genre and the target audience. Out of the four photos we took we decided that this photo best describes the horror genre. The picture shows a man being pinned up to a fence by an attacker with a knife to his throat. His right hand is gripping on to the fence with fear but his left hand is trying to release the pressure from the attacker. The photo shows suspense and leaves the audience intrigued as you cannot see the attackers face which makes the audience have questions rolling over in their head like, 'who is he?' and 'why is he being attacked?'. By looking at the facial expressions of the victim you can see the fear in his face as he is being pressed up against the metal fence. His eyes and closed tightly which gives the feeling that he is scared.
