Preliminary Research

 Before choosing the genre, I did research on various genres and here are the results.

What are your thoughts on the video you have just watched?

Film	Genre/Genre Conventions	How did this scene introduce characters, settings and create intrigue?	What did you like/dislike about the intro?
ExtractIIon	Action Fight, explosion, vehicles, action	The scene begins in action where the character is repeatedly shot and falls into the river this creates a pneumatic code of will the character survive. The setting as well is in a middle eastern country with alot of war and the character is a westerner so we can guess it was in the war on terror and other such wars involving westerners and the middle east.	I liked the action scenes though I hated it when it would keep cutting to the title screen which ruins the immersion.
Pamali The corpse village (2023)	Horror Scary, dark, supernatural paranormal	The scene uses a genre opening to pull the viewer into the horror movie giving them a sense of fear and unease. The scene also uses zero dialogue which asks the question about what is going on. The scene is also set a night with the only light source being a lantern this again adds to the fear factor and the unknown as not a lot is being seen.	I liked the atmosphere and the suspense. It really pulls you into the horror feel. What i dislike was the gory bits
Uglies	Sci Fi Lazers, futuristic tech, robots	This introduces the world in the far future where to fix human nature people are given surgerys to make them perfect. Though it was a bit of an exposition dump but the plot points and world building was intresting	I hated teh social commentary on human nature and the reliance on fossil fuels I liked the idea and plot points.
500 Days of summer (2009)	Romance Kissing, Couples, Wedding,	The scene uses a narrator to introduce the characters and hints of their future relationship creating intrigued and as well the flashback shows us the values of the characters which stick with them to the present	I liked how the narrator introduced the characters and their values and traits. I like the montage of their childhoods as it creates a deeper connection between teh viewer and the characters and invokes a sense of nostalgia  I dislike the slow pace though ill allow it as it is a convention of teh genre
Johny english (1003)	Comedy  Jokes, Slapstick comedy, laugh	At first the character is introduced as a professional spy going in to a royal mansion defeating guards and docs and swaying women to achieve his goal but we findout he is actually dreaming and is  infact just an office worker that works for an intelligence agency. This shows that he is not the sharpest tool in the shed but due to a cataphrofic event he is made to be an active duty spy which creates intrigue on what hes going to do.	I loved all the jokes and witty acts as I found it amusing though I found it a cit cliche when they said it was just a dream.
