Genre of my chosen texts

The black cauldron genre is fantasy how ever it also has traces of horror, the conventions of these genres that show in the film are low key lighting and dragging out the scenes which can been seen as horror also the non diegetic sounds change to increase the tension in the film especially in scenes when the 'villain' appears on the screen. many of the scenes have mist which is a very iconic part of very olden horror films. The conventions of the fantasy film are the opposite to the horror aspects, they is high key lighting to make the audience feel at ease and that nothing bad is going to happen. again the music changes through out the scenes that are seen to be fantasy and the music is more upbeat and relaxes the audience and instead of them expecting whats about to happen the audience just enjoys and watches it. morse conventions of this is their are fairies and aspects of magic which is a key element of fantasy films.

the dark knight rises genre is a thriller/ action film conventions of horror films are as followed, it mainly uses panning and tracking shots the first shot that was used in the film was a panning shot not focusing on any one just setting the scene. it also uses a lot of high and log angle shows this always shows the the audience who controls the scene and can make the audience fell important/the focus or can make them feel threatened and vulnerable. there are many jump cuts between scenes as this gives the scene of fast movement and its unpredictable what can happen. conventions of an action film is fighting, through al the whole film/trilogy of batman these is a lot of fighting. a key location of an action film is in a big city and batman fits this perfectly as the whole film is set in the fictional city gotham.
