Research into generic codes and conventions

For this task you must consider the 'formula' of your chosen genre. What you should do is look at a few different films within your genre and identify what they have in common.


Think about:


Narrative - what is a typical storyline for this genre?
Character - what are the stock characters for this genre? - Give examples
Setting/Location - when and where are these films usually set?
Iconography - what costumes, props and other visual stuff is associated with this genre?
Cinematography - is there a style of camerawork associated with the genre?... Or what types of shot are often featured in films of this genre?
Sound - what type of score/sound effects are usually used for this genre?

Include pictures and links to other websites.
