Genre Expectations and Codes

I have learnt what "Genre Expectations" is. The genre specifically focuses around the target audience and they make sure that they can catch the audience's attention by using different techniques. An example of this could be horror, they would use part of a tension building scene which increases the intensity of the advertisement. As technology develops, the films might become more interesting as the standards of quality and detail in the production are becoming increasingly high.

I also learnt the definition of codes and the different types of codes used in the filming industry. "Codes" are a group of signs which develop meaning to create certain emotions for each particular film. The codes are sub-categorized into technical and symbolic codes. Technical codes consist of the equipment used to tell the story from every perspective. Symbolic codes focus on the expressions of each character to enforce meaning. To do this, they use different camera angles to make specific scenes stand out as more meaningful
