Our group presentation

Group 2 2012 AS from Media @ CCC on Vimeo.


This is our group presentation on the question 'Do generic conventions help or restrict filmmakers?'

Doing this presentation has helped us understand the different sides of the argument and decide for ourselves the answer, I think It does help to begin with, giving you the basic conventions of the film, but it mostly restricts because filmmakers may be scared to add in new themes and twists as it could be considered a different genre and therefore a different target audience etc.

This task was important as it helped us gain an insight into filmmaking and boundaries between genre's which will help as we are going to be making the opening sequence of a thriller movie.
