Genre - Short Stories & Film

Our latest unit will be the study of short stories and film with a focus on genre.  As a revision of genre we will look at a range of movie trailers on Youtube and discuss the expectations we have of the film from the genre clues (conventions) they contain.

Tasks:

• Using Mindomo, Mindmeister, or Mind42, compose a mind map of the main genres and their features.  Embed this mind map on your Weebly.
• Select a movie trailer, embed it on your Weebly, and then list the genres it contains and the conventions used in the trailer that confirm those genres.
