Genre conventions - Independent Study
Identifying genre conventions is a great way into understanding how some films work. The Gunfighter relies on our prior knowledge of the western, so watch a few at the very least and watch some classic scenes such as the start of Once Upon A Time In The West, the end of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly or High Noon.
Equally, acquaint yourselves with some revisionist film texts such as Tarantino's Django Unchained or the spoof Blazing Saddles.
In your notes, identify genre conventions such as:
Settings, iconography, costumes, storylines, narratives and typical characters.
Deadline - Start of Tuesday 25th of Sept.
