Identifying key genre conventions - Warm Bodies trailer


    Watch the following trailer and identify key genre conventions (complete for homework - Monday 19th June):

Ø What do we expect in terms of themes, narrative, imagery / colours, characters, technical codes (camerawork, sound, editing , mise en scene)? Try to refer to iconography

Ø You must also discuss the audiences expectations / appeal of films that follow those generic codes and conventions (try to use the audience theories we have already looked at i.e. uses and gratifications)

Ø Try to apply any other theories you can i.e. male gaze, intertextuality, stereotypes / countertypes etc

Ø Do you think the film is trying to subvert / challenge any genre conventions?
