Genre analysis sheet rec
The 2007 Spanish horror film Rec was directed by Jaume Balaguero. It takes place primarily in an apartment building and fire station, following several protagonists including Angela, Pablo, and Manu as they deal with a virus that turns people into zombies. While conforming to many horror genre codes and conventions through its use of lighting, props, themes of entrapment and possession, and iconography, the film breaks conventions through its fragmented narrative, blending of horror and reality television styles, and ideological messages about the shallow nature of reality TV.

The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's crust is divided into plates that move over the mantle. There are three types of boundaries where plates meet: divergent boundaries where plates pull apart and new crust is formed; convergent boundaries where plates push together resulting in subduction zones, volcanoes, or mountain building; and transform boundaries where plates slide past one another causing earthquakes. Convection currents in the mantle are believed to drive the motion of tectonic plates.
