Infographic Analyzation

1) This first image is displaying the likely possibility of a girl in the horror movie running into a problem at the most intense scenes. It uses machetes to display the different data, which is a very common weapon used by villains or killers. It has a simple design like the others, but is quite informative in its own ways.

2) This info-graphic utilized the machete as a representation of horror movies, as the infamous "Jason" would use in his movies to murder the protagonist.

3) The image uses the machetes as an appealing way to compare the likeliness of these events, instead of bars, as that may bore the audience.

4) I found the unique use of the machetes appealing, and found it more interesting. The image caught my eye, with its bright colors and interesting graphics.

1) This image is describing the common occurrence in films, where the villain nor hero reloads their revolver after six shots. In reality, the gun would be limited to six rounds before you need to reload, but the movie actors tend not to. This is a clever way to visually display their point.

2) They had the clever idea of using the cylindrical magazine of a revolver as a pie/circle graph, to display the likely possibility of the movie makers displaying the use of the revolver properly.

3) The image itself has direct relations with the data, as the data concerns the use of revolvers. This is an image of the cylinder of the revolver, therefore it is a visual display of the gun itself.

4) The simple color scheme of the background and the text is very easy to read, and does not require one to strain their eyes to read. Also, their artistic creativity with the cylinder made it especially appealing. 

1) This image is a visual display of the cliche facts about most movies. It displays how in all movies, a normal flower van ends up being a major part in the plot, and not just a regular business. It brings up a valid point, and describes a very cliche thing in most movies.

2) They displayed the possibility by making one white van stand out, from all of the other black vans, making a visual representation of the rarity of such an occurrence.

3) The image displays the object in question itself, therefore they are directly related.

4) The simplicity of the data representation makes the image simple to understand, and the message is very straightforward and appealing.
