7. WHAT GRAPHICS WILL YOU FIND EACH STYLE

8. Action
Action is a genre wherein physical action takes precedence in the storytelling. The film will often have continuous motion and action including physical stunts,
chases, fights, battles, and races. The story usually revolves around a hero that has a goal, but is facing incredible odds to obtain it. Like these pictures at the
top, these are all magazine front covers they are all associated with action a you case on the first magazine front cover the picture gives it all away that the
magazine is about action as the character is holding a gun. The second one has cars on it so its about cars are cars are all about the action with in them well
the good ones. The last two promote action films you know they are promoting action films as the first cover has a picture of man running in a forest and the
second poster has two men and one holding a gun with animated skulls on the floor which is what you find in action movies .

9. FASHION
These are pictures as you can see for fashion these pictures are associated with fashion as they have the
colour pink in the not only that but specific picture like the last one on the right shows ladies fashion
because it is lipsticks which is known as fashion for ladies. Furthermore there is a picture of a girl wearing a
stunning dress and holding a plastic doll, this is associated with fashion because of what dress she is wearing
and the way she is posing.

10. FANTASY
Fantasy is a genre of fiction that uses magic or other super natural elements as a main plot element, theme, or setting. Many works within the
genre take place in imaginary worlds where magic and magic creatures are common. Fantasy is generally distinguished from the genres of
science fiction and horror by the expectation that it steers clear of scientific and macabre themes. Like the first two pictures above these
pictures look like real people but they are drawn out characters looking like humans. Also the third picture is a super natural element of lions
and humans being able to do similar things and live together. Lastly the last picture shows a theme of robots being alive s humans these
elements are all related by drawing them on paper.

11. SPORTS
Sport are all forms of usually competitive physical activity or games which, through casual or organised participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and
skills while providing entertainment to participants. As you can see above that the first picture is of baseball results this is usually shown to on television to the audience this
has been editing for the audience to keep track of the scores. The second picture is from an advert of baseball in America, they have used editing to make he person look
bigger then the building around him. The third one is of the Olympics swimming at the bottom there is the name, the country flag and the distance and time the person
took; this is all for the audience to know who the person is. Lastly the last picture is of a logo of Action4 sports, they have used media editing to make there logo for there
show.

12. ADVENTURE
Action film is a film genre in which one or more heroes are thrust into a series of challenges that typically include physical feats, extended fight scenes, violence, and
frantic chases. Action films tend to feature a resourceful character struggling against incredible odds, which include life-threatening situations, a villain, or a pursuit which
generally concludes in victory for the hero. All of these pictures above are associated with adventure as everyone knows INDIANA JOHNS is an adventure movie. The third
one is a magazine font cover on women's adventure you can see this from the picture on the entire front cover it of a girl sky diving, which is adventurous. The other two
pictures are about adventure as well you know this because spirtball has an exposition as its front cover so it informs the audience that's its an adventure as it has many
types of aliens exploding out. The last picture says adventure on it so its clearly about adventure but the picture in the background enforces it’s a adventure as the picture
is of a man trying to kill a clue fury.
