Collage on four different genres


This is a collage I did on four different genres. The genres were War, Sci-Fi, Horror and Fantasy. War genre was easy to find but Horror was not so easy. How I did it was obvious really, just cut and stick. finding the images was more difficult, probably because all the decent ones (Except a Metal Gear Solid picture or two) were taken. I looked through various magazines like Edge for example, for something I might like. But that was to no success, so of course, I went with what ever is decent enough and suits the specific genre.

There are many genres in the media world but what makes the four genres I chose?

Sci-Fi Everyone knows that Star Wars is Sci-Fi. Space is what everyone knows as Sci-Fi, other things to do with Sci-Fi may be like a piece of Technology that is more advanced then our current age and technology, Weapons or abnormal effects.

Horror  Horror is more to do with gory images or depressing images or frightening images. Gory like someone getting their arm ripped off in the most horrific way possible, Depressing being a bunch of people or one in a situation to with death or something and they're suffering and they show that emotion in full detail.Frightening images are when something scary comes out of nowhere or appears in front of someone, the frightening image may be a monster, zombie or any mythical beast.


Fantasy Basically anything with a sword and a mystical setting with a mythical beast, dragon or super powers that make an effect on someone or something, things like the Force from Star Wars or the powers of a Zanpakuto from Bleach is an idea of fantasy. Fantasy is the genre where you can let your imagination run wild.
War The title pretty much says it all, but really War will contain your weapons, bombs etc, from bows and arrows to laser guns.
