Genre: Comedy – The generic conventions of a Comedy film are: usually the location is bright or in a natural light to show that the scenes are happy, and usually in a public i.e. high school, bars and homes. Objects that may hurt the character often used (used in slapstick comedy) and lastly, the characters usually are socially awkward or say unintelligent things. I like comedies because they make me happy and entertained as I watch the plot change, often these films might have a moral and therefore, I enjoy finding it out. Comedies help people escape from reality and to just relax because the content is funny and easy to understand.

Genre: Thriller – The generic conventions of a Thriller are: a battle against the protagonist and antagonist, a chain of bad events with building tension and suspense for the climax. Low key lighting, quick cuts, shadows, tension music, diegetic sounds of breathing and the antagonist will wear dark clothing. I like thrillers because the tension causes my heart to quicken, making me feel like I am experiencing danger without actually being in danger, also the unknown aspect of thrillers are exciting.

Genre: Chick Flick - designed to appeal to women, usually character will cry (happy or sad tears), strong female leading a group of women, usually in a high school environment (teen drama chick flick) with a group of girls, the colour pink is a theme, happy and relaxed ending – unrealistic, fairy-tale based story, upbeat and happy music which is popular with the audience at the time, technology is up to date in chick flicks such as blackberry’s, iPhone etc. This is to try and relate more to the teenage audience, the fashion and designer labels in chick flicks are iconic as they are trying to set apart the difference between some characters e.g. the rich to the less privileged, and lastly, this difference is also shown in the accessories of the wealthier characters such as their cars, bags and houses.
