Films are categorized by either the theme or a conflict, this develops genre, an easier way to describe a film based on the composition and moods. Genres like horror, sci-fi, comedy, romance, all have a definitive base which directors and screenwriters build off of to create movies. These genres make it easy for an audience to look for a movie they might relate to or enjoy based on the color or plot. Some genres I'm interested in are horror, fantasy, and comedy. These genres have my interest as their very different compositions, each genre either brings a new perspective on something or entertains me to keep me busy. Franchises like Men in Black which fall under comedy and sci-fi will always be my favorite. Not only with the choices of actors but the lines and ideas behind the film.

  My partner and I created a horror media text, we engage our audience by having a poster related to our genre. Specifically, the Scream Franchise. In the assignment the goal was to break down our media text in order to hopefully recreate it in our own film. Showing the main composition that horror films would have.
