They utilize conventions like dramatic camera angles, music, and montages to build excitement and highlight the action and climax.

Judd Apatow is an American film producer, director, and screenwriter known for his comedy films. He began his career in comedy performing stand-up and hosting events while studying at USC.

Apatow's directorial style features improvisation, stories based on real-life situations, and humor found in conventionally unfunny life events.
Media language refers to the conventions, formats, symbols and narrative structures that cue audience understanding of meaning in media texts, similar to how grammar structures print media. There are several theories about how meaning is constructed in media. Ferdinand de Saussure's theory suggests that signs have both a signifier (visual form) and signified (concept), and meaning requires both. Stuart Hall's encoding/decoding theory proposes that media producers encode dominant ideologies but audiences decode and interpret meanings. Roland Barthes' theory of denotation and connotation is that the audience draws on social and historical knowledge to interpret the connotations of objects beyond their literal denotations.
This document discusses genre theory and definitions of genre in media texts. It provides summaries of perspectives on genre from theorists Daniel Chandler, Steve Neale, and David Bordwell.

Bordwell argues that genres cannot be definitively distinguished by fixed conditions and that themes may appear across genres.
