Preliminary Exercise 3 B: Introduction to Genre Conventions Bubble Organizer

 In a film genera is the mood, tone, charter, setting and the plot. The genre is is important to the audience when viewing the film because to allow the audience to know what kind of movie they are going to watch and what they should expect to see in the movie. Three genera that I am interested in are horror, comedy and action. The definition of the genre horror is a film genre that seeks to elicit fear or disgust its audience for entertainment purposes.  I am interested in horror films because they often explore dark subject matter and may deal with transgressive topics or themes. While comedy is the complete opposite, comedy is a genre of fiction that consists of discourses or works intended to be humorous or amusing by inducing laughter, especially in theatre, film, stand-up comedy, television, radio, books, or any other entertainment medium. I am interested in this genre because  they are light-hearted dramas, crafted to amuse, entertain, and provoke enjoyment. The last genre that I am interested in is action, action is a film genre in which the protagonist is thrust into a series of events that typically involve violence and physical feats. I find this genre interesting because the are normally fast-paced and include a lot of action like fight scenes, chase scenes, and slow-motion shots. 

The media text that is being created is film/movie. The media text is supposed to engage your audience by using enigma codes , star actors, or multi-stranded narratives to help it appeal to its target audience. For this assignment we were told to identify the key element in mise en scene and to create a bubble diagram  to state our knowledge on the genre. In this lesson I learned that there are a lot of small and unexpected things that help to contribute to the mood/ tone of the film. The person who I worked on the assignment with is Brooke N, she did most of the research and also helped with the drawing the images. We took turn and did our best to complete the assignment on time and did our best to make sure that we have the necessary information.
