Genre Research - Genre Theory & Narrative Theory

Here is a presentation we did whilst researching narrative theory and genre theory, as well as looking at the aspect of challenging codes and conventions. To help us practise with the equipment and technology we may use for our trailer we used a green screen and edited the presentation using After Effects. We also filmed a two short scenes in research for codes and conventions that link to this presentation which you can see here.

Genre Research - Challenging Codes & Conventions

Here are two short scenes we filmed linking to our presentation researching genre that challenges typical codes and conventions. We used the same footage but edited it differently using the romantic codes and conventions for one and the codes and conventions of horror for another. However, we changed one conventional object at the end of each scene to challenge the typical stereotype.

Codes and conventions of mystery

Definitions of the mystery genre:

'Mystery film is a sub-genre of the more general category of crime film and at times the thriller genre. It focuses on the efforts of the detective, private investigator or amateur sleuth to solve the mysterious circumstances of a crime by means of clues, investigation, and clever deduction.'

'Anything that is kept secret or remains unexplained or unknown: the mysteries of nature.

Any affair, thing, or person that presents features or qualities so obscure as to arouse curiosity or speculation: The masked guest is an absolute mystery to everyone.
