www: You have discussed in detail what these still images show and link them to the genre.
EBI: It would be useful if you discussed which still image was the most successful at showing your genre most clearly - as well as having a clear list of genre signifiers for your chosen genre.

This first picture is the most successful because, I think it shows more genres significant. Compared to the other images that we took, this shows more of the British drama side. If someone looks at this image I think they could guess it is based on drama because of what’s going on in the picture. Drama’s are serious and portray a real life situation; this image does to this because someone is trying to strangle her which could happen to anyone.
Genre signifiers for a Drama
Colour- dark, this was used in the images that we took
Costume- what an everyday person would wear. We didn't really consintrate on this part of the signifiers because we only had an hour to do this which meant that we didn't have time fore people to get changed into something that would suit. However on the first image that we took we had teenagers in their school uniform which added to the costume part because of their uniform it adds to the drama effect.
Character types- can be any type that will fit in a everyday society which means it could be someone at work, or someone with a mental illness. the character types in our pictures were all made to fit the situation, for example on the first picture the boy is strangling the girl, and there must of been a motive for the boy to want to do that, and this adds to the drama signifiers.
Objects/ props- something that everyone uses. We didn't have any props within our pictures because we didn't have time to go into detail of what we were going to have in each picture. However if we were to think about what kind of prop that were would of included, i would of though about having an umbrella because we got given a British drama, and England is famous for it's rainy weather, but also by having it raining it adds to making the scene dramatic because, rain is seen as dark and moody.
Setting – Civilised space. For our pictures the setting we used were an everyday place so it looked real.
Sound – that suits the moods of the scene. We didn't have any sounds because it was an image
Plot lines – conflict between themselves. There were conflict between charaters in two of our pictures because they were punching another character and in the our one there was a character strangling another charactre this makes it a drama because it's dramatic.
