Genre research #2

What's up guys? It's been a while since my last posting but I'm back with another genre research. This time its not as mature as my last one. In fact its on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Last time I did research on a genre that appealed to adults, this time I'm researching a genre that appeals to.... wait for it..... CHILDREN!!

1. Genre- Children Entertainment
2. Genre conventions (content)- Provide safe, fun, and educational content for their younger viewers. Playful and visually attractive and easy to understand/follow for a young audience.
3. Genre conventions (Production)- Represented with animated characters as well as inanimate objects or animals are brought to life. Name of movie is usually at the top or center of the preview and is complimented by the overall color scene of movie. Characters are also the first thing viewers see on the preview picture.

Sample #1


This film demonstrates these conventions because the movie involves animated characters, objects, animals who all interact like humans and this helped the story line be easy to understand for kids. Also this compliments the liking of younger audiences and makes this movie fun to watch. Also the color of the name compliments the over all color and vibe of the movie which makes this very visually appealing. Lastly, the characters are the first thing viewers see on so younger kids are more likely going to be more tempted to watch the movie.



Sample #2

This film portrays these conventions by having the name of the movie on the top of the preview and the colors go along with the overall color scheme of the movie. Because of this makes it very visually pleasing to the eye and attractive for younger audiences. Also, the characters are animated and are in the center of the picture which draws in attention of the younger audience to want to watch the movie. Lastly, the story line of the movie is very fun and educational and also allows kids to follow along easily.
