Investigating generic conventions

Coursework Research: Genre and Genre Theory (independent study - due in week starting 12.11.12)
Here is a selection of useful PPTs to help you with this key media concept.
Read them to consolidate your understanding, including the different ways in which Thriller sub-genres are categorised.
Make sure you start with the first two - focus on Charles Derry's way to categorise thrillers.
By the end, you should have an excellent grasp of thriller subgenres and their generic conventions.

Home Learning/ private study due in 22 or 23.11 - for week beginning 7.2.11
- Research Thriller sub-genres and different ways of categorising them. Focus on 2 or 3 sub-genres and illustrate with film extracts, film posters, and screen grabs from films.
- Read the sheet on Thriller Conventions very carefully and start finding examples to illustrate the different conventions highlighted. This should be on-going from now on.
- Now the groups have been agreed, each group is a now a production company - it needs a name and a logo. Come up with a name and designs for your logo. Look at existing examples of Film production companies as part of your research to get some inspiration.
ALL THE ABOVE COUNT DIRECTLY TOWARDS THE RESEARCH PART OF YOUR COURSEWORK. Look at the mark scheme for clarification (in your guidance packs).
LABEL YOUR POSTS CLEARLY WITH: THRILLER GENRE RESEARCH
- Finally, your documentaries on genre should be exported by the beginning of next week so that the other class can watch and evaluate them.
This means that the edit must be fine-tuned and exported by the end of Monday 21.11.11.
I'll upload them to YouTube so that you can embed them into your blogs.
