3. Genre (signifiers) and audience
expectations
We have decided that our Genre is going to be a Thriller as we think it is the
most exciting as they can have outrageous storylines which keep the viewers
attention throughout.
The conventions we are going to use are the theme of death and the use of
realistic and natural characters. This will make the film see more realistic
which will help the audience to engage with the storyline and keep them on the
edge of their seats. The film will also be from the Protagonists point of view in
order for us to make them seem likeable and create a bond between them and
the audience.
The audience are expecting to see violence and action right from the
beginning however we have decided to keep it simple and mysterious.
