Genre Research

 Genre choice 1: Horror 

• I chose this genre because this is my favorite type of movie to watch  

 

• Movies like the terrifier, the conjuring, tarot  

• In the movie terrifier they supported the genre by making a serial killer clown that followed people and scared them before killing them. In the conjuring they supported the genre by telling a real story of a house haunting that happened. In tarot they supported the genre by the tarot reading they got ended up coming true and the way that they died was by mythical things that are scary.  

• They all used sources of scary characters, dramatic irony, and killers  

• Directors of horror movies are john carpenter and Wes craven 

• I would use technical codes to make the scene more dramatic and suspenseful. I would also use symbolic codes to use colors like black to resemble dramatic and ominous feeling 

• Key elements in horror movies are: gore, suspense, unknown, fear  

 

 

Genre choice 2: Action  

• I chose this genre because it is one of my favorite genres of movies to watch  

• Examples: The Gladiator, Venom, fast and furious  

• 
  

•  

• The director used narrative conventions in all 3 movies because they all had a rising plot and climax in the movies, and they all have some kind of foreshadowing or a flashback scene. The directors also used audio conventions to create sounds to make the action more suspenseful  

• Different directors include: Jhon Woo, James Cameron and Michael Bay are just some of the directors 

• I would use narrative conventions to add flashbacks and foreshadowing to add context clues to the film and I would also use technical codes to add more dramatic scenes  

• Some of the key elements in an action movie are: The Hero, stunts or fighting, Plot and a final fight or showdown
