Typical plot events – What things tend to happen in films in this genre?
Typical locations, use of costume, make-up and lighting
Soundtrack – How is sound (music) often used in films in this genre?
Find two or three films (use film posters or screenshots from film scenes ) for each of these genres and explain how the film reinforces or challenges any of the conventions you researched.
