•generic conventions
A generic convention is when you relate a particular prop/scenario/ setting to a certain film genre I.e. If I saw a gun or an explosion, I would think of an action film.
To identify generic conventions, you must look for:
-typical narratives:structure of the story/character types
-typical micro elements:lighting, costume, font, colour, props, etc
-typical themes: good vs evil, crime and punishment, achieving goals, etc
•Hybrids
Some films are not simply one specific genre. Hybrid films seem to be a mixture of different generic conventions from a number of different genres I.e. Shaun of the dead: romantic, horror, comedy
