Genre
The genre of our short film is a Romantic
Drama, which can be referred to as a
Hybrid genre, which occurs when two
seemingly different genres are merged
together to form a new and developed
genre that utilizes codes and
conventions from both.
Codes
Codes refer to the systems of signs within a media text that
a genre uses to create meaning. Codes can be broken into
two sub-sections; Technical and Symbolic codes. Technical
codes refer to ways in which the microelements are used to
create meaning within a text, whereas Symbolic codes look
at the inferred meaning behind the text, or the
connotations.
