Genres


Genres
 
 


There are many different types of genres:
 
Action
An action film normally leads to desperate situations like explosions, fight scenes and life risking escapes. Action and adventure normally coincide together for instance James Bond.
 
Adventure
An adventure story includes a protagonist who journeys to epic or distant places to accomplish something. The protagonist has a mission and faces obstacles to get to their desired destination.

Comedy
 Is a story that tells about a series of funny, or comical events, intended to make the audience laugh. It is a very open genre, and thus crosses over with many other genres on a frequent basis.

Romance
Romance is understood to be "love stories", emotion-driven stories that are primarily focused on the relationship between the main characters of the story. Beyond the focus on the relationship, the biggest defining characteristic of the romance genre is that a happy ending is always guaranteed,perhaps marriage and living "happily ever after", or simply that the reader sees hope for the future of the romantic relationship.

Drama
Within film, television and radio (but not theatre), drama is a genre of narrative fiction (or semi-fiction) intended to be more serious than humorous in tone, focusing on in-depth development of realistic characters who must deal with realistic emotional struggles.

Horror
A horror story is told to deliberately scare or frighten the audience, through suspense, violence or shock. H. P. Lovecraft distinguishes two primary varieties in the "Introduction" to Supernatural Horror in Literature: 1) Physical Fear or the "mundanely gruesome" and 2) the true Supernatural Horror story or the "Weird Tale". The supernatural variety is occasionally called "dark fantasy", since the laws of nature must be violated in some way, thus qualifying the story as "fantastic".

Evaluation - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Forms and conventions define a genre and are the way in which something is done. Within my work I have used, challenged and developed  some of these forms and conventions. My genre was in the shape of supernatural Horror. The main fil I compared my film to was paranormal activity and their conventions. Supernatural Horror usually sets place in an environment that is deemed safe. For example I set my location at a house where you would think nothing can harm you. Giving it that realism to the audience that these events about to occur can happen anywhere. With the location comes a powerful creature lurking in the shadows waiting to pounce. Throughout the film this evil being torments the characters till its satisfied. My film includes just that as the evil being controls and plays with the main character to the point where her boyfriend is worried and asking questions. Another convention of this genre is the use of dark tones and depressing features. My film follows that convention a

Evaluation - How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Production The first stage of our production was to collect all of our footage in total we had about 4 different filming days at different locations. To film we used a Canon EOS 700D and a tripod. This camera is a DSLR camera so we knew that we would be able to collect good footage of a high quality. We then again used this same equipment to create our ancillary’s. I used blogger once again to store all my research and information. This time it was a lot easier to use since I have used it before. However there was some technical difficulties as some pictures would not adjust to the position I wanted them to be in. All in all it was a smooth experience using blogger again. Canva is another piece of software I used for my double page spread and my poster. I enjoyed using canva a lot. It is very easy to navigate your way round the program and can make some great things. I had no problem with using it and would gladly use it again. I used something called IMovie
