Assignment: Genre and Genre Films
Explain Genre Theory
Describe the conventions and attributes of animations.
Identify a feature-length film that fits this genre and provide a basic summary of the movie.
As you develop this summary, remember the differences between a film's story and a film's plot and how these differences can lead to the inclusion of genre elements.
1. Interpret at least two genre conventions exhibited in your chosen feature-length film that help classify it in the selected genre. Be sure to provide a specific example of each convention (e.g., a particular scene or plot component).
- Identify the type of lighting used in the film (traditional three-point, high-key, or low-key) and assess the impact of the lighting used to establish the theme.
- What are the benefits of the style of lighting used?
