Genre preferences:
My top three genre preferences have got to be
1) Rom com
2) Thriller
3) Action
1) Rom com:
The conventions of this genre are
-typical boy meets girls
-inevitable of the two characters in love to meet again
-often some sexual innuendos included involved in the script
-two protagonists being male and female
-often centred around the females side (her point of view or her story)
Film of this genre that i have enjoyed is 'Think like a man'. This movie left me in stitches with the story having a twist to it the girls in the relationship are the ones who are in charge. And begin to cause chaos which leads to consequences... The reason why I liked this rom com so much has got to be is because it was different not your typical in my opinion a rom com.
2) Thriller:
The conventions of this genre are
-single minded goals (main character wants to achieve this)
-use of urban areas, guns, car chase
-low lighting
-face-paced editing
Films of this genre that i have enjoyed is 'Taken'. This is because the movie had a point. which was to find his daughter. With many hard obstacles along the way. The movie included main conventions of a thriller and it was very obvious, it did not drag on.
3) Action:
The convention of this genre are
-weapons: knives and guns
-Explosions and crashes
-Hi-tech machinery
-Killings of loved ones (deaths)
-massive destruction
Films of this genre which I had enjoyed were Fast and Furious 7 and Taken 3. I enjoyed Fast 7 so much because it had elements of everything, like romance, comedy and action. it didn't drag on and the genre was clear from the very beginning.
