Preliminary Exercise 3: Mise En Scene Codes and Genre Conventions Bubble Diagram

Genre in film is the type of film/ theme of the film, and for audiences knowing what the genre of a film helps them figure out if they are going to like it or not. Three genres that I usually enjoy watch is horror (usually has a dark disturbing subject matter), comedy (typically emphasizes the humor in a film), and Romance (focuses on a romantic relationship and story). These can be involved in the same movie which is why I really enjoy it.

From the media it shows what the audience enjoy and once they know the background, they can be more engaged into the film. We were to pick a genre and movies that can go with the genre and fill out the customized bubble chart that goes along with it. I learned many components that go along with the genre "horror". I worked by myself, and I knew since I enjoy art stuff so much it was going to be a better assignment.

To represent the horror in my poster I drew Penny Wise's iconic red balloon, Jason's mask, and the tree from the conjuring. This project really developed my sense of understanding a movie. In each movie I can see the detail put into it.
