Codes and conventions of comedy and thriller genres

This is a powerpoint which is comparing the two genres our film will be either categorised as. Our group had to decide between either a comedy or thriller genre. We had to do research into both of them to help us decide what the best option was for us. The information includes all the different things you need to make a comedy or thriller film.

 

What I have learnt by doing this research is that there are many different codes and conventions for each genre and unless you research the different genres you dont realise how different they actually are. After doing all our research we decided to choose to do a thriller film. The reasons being to make it more interesting and there is a lot more things you can do with a thriller film but with a comedy film it can be limited because it has to be funny and it can be quite hard to think of funny things to keep the audience interested and to keep them watching.
