In 800 to 1200 words:

•   Explain genre theory and, using Chapter 4 of the text as a reference, thoroughly describe the conventions

  and attributes of your selected genre.

•   Identify a feature-length film that fits this genre and provide a basic summary of the movie. As you

  develop this summary, remember the differences between a film’s story and a film’s plot and how these

  differences can lead to the inclusion of genre elements.

•   Interpret at least two genre conventions exhibited in your chosen feature-length film that help classify it in

  the selected genre. Be sure to provide a specific example of each convention (e.g., a particular scene or

  plot component).

•   Provide an example of a third convention from your chosen feature-length film and explain how this

  convention expands the boundaries of the specified genre.

  Your paper should be organized around a thesis statement that focuses on how your chosen feature-length film both aligns with and expands upon your chosen genre.
