1) Genre is the type of movie/category that the film producers choose for their production, often it is aimed at a specific audience.
2) When a movie decides to join two or more genres together, this is called Cross genres. For instance the movie 'In time' consists on love and romance, this is to have a wider range of an audience.
3) The conventions of an action movie:
- Fast moving
- Some slow contrast to action
- Weapons
- Fighting
- Car chasing
- Stunts
4) Genre is important to PDE (Production, Distribution and Exhibition) because it helps the producers know what type of conventions they're going to put into the movie, for instance in a action movie there will need to be fighting and stunts to appeal to the target audience. Distribution will help the marketing aspects such as advertisements and posters, representing the type of genre it is to the audience and gain a greater demand
5) Analyse a film poster and explain how it promotes the genre.
Film posters are commonly used to let the potential audience know what type of movie they will be expecting, in this case the type of genre. In the poster that you see below, the characters seem to dressed very formally and look like their couple by the same dress code. In addition, there seem to be a coding on the arm of the male actor (Justin Timberlake). The way this poster was distributed conveys that it is going to have cross genres within the movie, the fact they're dressed in similar colours, standing close together and posed in the same fashion suggests that there's love in the movie. This is to get more female audience to watch the movie. The coding on the arm and the colour scheme of black and green all suggest that the movie consists upon the genre of sci-fi, these particular colours are well known within a movie called 'The Matrix' and happens to be a sci-fi movie. This is to draw the attention of the male audience because it is evident that more men watch sci-fi movies then females. Often when movies borrow other aspects of each other, this is formally known as 'Intertextuality'.
