Begin your ** genre research **- this forms a major part of the your research and planning and should be well presented, using a range of appropriate images/film stills etc. I have uploaded an example of genre research - read through these. The structure and content of this research is up to you but I recommend that you include:

* Historical background into the origins your genre (actors, directors, country of origin, film studios, top grossing films by budget...). * Analysis of the codes and conventions of films in your genre you should mention setting, characters, iconography, ideology and narrative structure - as well as technical aspects (mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing and sound)). * Detailed case study analysis of at least 2 films in your genre (make sure you watch them!) and how they conform to or subvert the codes and conventions you have investigated - ** this is worth the most marks in your genre research so make it as detailed as possible. **  * Case study analysis of a film director who has made films in your genre.
