Genre Task Using the theories and ideas put forward by some/all of the academics covered, create a multi media film/tv guide to a genre of your choice. Aim to provide examples that show: Use of generic conventions (Narrative, character, iconography, mis-en-scene, etc) Examples that evidence audience pleasures  Examples that demonstrate problems in categorization (elements that perhaps aren't typical)  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key Academics Theories: Daniel Chandler: Chandler sees genre as too restricting.

A mix of art and aesthetics is popular among magazines that reach for a rather grungy and alternative vibe to their covers, and this is just what Vogue did.  Taylor is seen wearing a very somber — yet compelling red dress with small black dots in the forefront of a rainy-day-cloud colour.
