    1. Genre Codes and Conventions
    2. Genre
      • All genres will have a set of ways that we can recognise them, similar features
      • These is how we classify different media texts into groups
      • These are called CODES and CONVENTIONS.
    3. CODE
      • A code is like a really firm rule that is almost never broken
      • There can be:
        • Character Codes
        • Plot Codes
        • Structural Codes
        • Cultural Codes
        • Production Codes
    4. CONVENTION
      • Conventions are habits or long accepted ways of doing things
      • These can change a lot as a genre develops but if you change to many or too quickly the audience may not understand what you are doing.
