Genre = Horror comedy Evil Dead 2 Shaun of the dead Gremlins Conventions of movies of this genre: Normally have a character that has give-up with life

For the past few weeks alongside planning the short films we are going to produce In I have been doing contextual research into what makes a good interactive film. This has been very beneficial towards the creation of my own film because it means that I have become more aware of what aspects work well in this specific type of film. The first piece of research that we did into this was on genre codes and conventions. Establishing genre is a very important part of creating a film.
