Film Study

1.  How do you define genre as it relates to film?

a category of artistic composition, as in music or literature, characterized by similarities in form, style, or subject matter.

2. Choose a film genre that you enjoy.  What are some conventions of that genre?  Name a film that would fit the semantic view of that genre and name a film that would fit the syntactic view of that genre.

3.  Choose and share a clip from a film that exemplifies genre conventions in your opinion. 

For instance, the clip that I have chosen here would be the clip that I showed aliens who landed on Earth and asked me what a Spaghetti Western movie was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KrsO91mfBw *Use different video*
