Conventions of other genres

I decided to do research into the conventions of other genres of films before I made my decision about which one would work best with a Romantic Comedy basis.

Conventions of an Action Film:

Explosion scene from The Dark Knight

Good vs. Bad

Lots of fighting, destruction of cities and explosions

Use of weaponry and fancy vehicles

Usually modern and set in big cities

There is always a mission for all the characters

However, the main character has a personal motivation

Conventions of a Post-Modern film:

A scene from extras of a show within a show starring Orlando Bloom

No longer trying to fake reality

Talk directly to the camera or have views of the camera

Generally the main characters feel uncomfortable in the environment

Circular narratives

Sometimes there's a "what if" reference

Conventions of a Stoner Film:

Main characters in possession of marijuana in, Ted

Possession of marijuana or attempting to gain possession

Trying to avoid people of higher authority Police/Parents/Bosses

Desire for an easier life of leisure

Slapstick comedy

Male Protagonists
