Genre

This lesson was about genre and genre theory which is a smaller part of the theory structuralism. For one part we had to write down the iconography of a western movie. Then in pairs we had to make a poster for a made up movie without giving a hint as to what the genre is. below is the poster. We also had to make of list of every genre that we knew as a group

This is the poster for our movie "D.I" we decided to go as vague as possible for when it came to the making of it we decided that a human eye would be the best and give an acronym title. However when it came to group assessment, many guessed that it was a science fiction movie as the poster looks pretty similar to the trailer of the movie "A Requiem for a dream" Which I personally agreed with, also the colour which was a steel blue helped people assume it was a Sci-fi. However  if you would just wash out the colours and change the title you could easily pass this poster off as a horror film.

We were asked a final question based on two different quotes which basically said whether or not the ideology of genre is a good or bad thing. Well I personally believe that genre is a good thing and is something we need to separate one from another. Without genre there wouldn't be a way to connect with audiences and I believe that it is not a barrier with the use of cross genres it makes experimentation possible
