Thriller
The genre thriller is similar to horror they both use dramatic music to engage the audience, the non-diegetic soundtrack is normally one of the most important elements to thriller or horror films.
The stereotypical thriller genre uses shadows and dark rooms, and the plot usually takes place of a night. Not all thriller films stick to the conventions, Photobooth is one film that doesn't stick to codes and conventions as it is not filmed of a night and mostly takes place during the day, although the film doesn't fit this convention it does fit the convention of mystery. Quick cuts and slow panning is used to create the effect of panic, suspense and creates tension within the audience
Romance
The romance genre is easy to define as it always ends with two people falling in love normally the storylines are similar with either where the two people can't be together or they don't like each other to begin with, normally when romance is involved it is a hybrid genre for example romance comedy. The soundtrack is normally slow romantic music and normally the main instrument is the violin, one of the most known romantic films is Romeo and Juliet, this follows the conventions of they aren't allowed to be together another film that follows this convention is Dear John
Action/Adventure
There is always a hero and a villain, and a love interest normally the hero has to save the love interest and in a normal stereotypical action/adventure film the hero is a man and the love interest is a women but in recent years heroines are becoming more and more popular, action/adventure films normally become a film franchise such as Indiana Jones which stars Harrison Ford, The Die Hard films starring Bruce Willis and The Bourne films starring Matt Damon are some film franchises that follow all the conventions of action/adventure. Normally the hero has a weakness for example John McClane in Die Hard is scared of heights and Indiana Jones is afraid of snakes.
Science-Fiction
Is normally filmed in outer space and in the future the Star Wars films are a prime example of sic-fi films. The Star Wars films follow all the codes and conventions of sci-fi films as they are set in outer space with future technology which doesn't actually exist in today’s world
