Over time, the Western genre has expanded to include subgenres like epic Westerns, Spaghetti Westerns, revisionist Westerns, and comedy Westerns. Famous Western actors include Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, and Lee Van Cleef.

The western genre was dominant in Hollywood between the 1930s and mid-1960s, but has since declined. While western movies are less common, their themes and myths of the American frontier live on in other genres like science fiction and action films. The western evolved over the early 20th century from one-reel films to include sound and more complex characters. In the 1960s, "spaghetti westerns" from directors like Sergio Leone featured more violent antiheroes and psychological themes. Though the western genre is less prevalent today, its influence can still be seen in other modern films.

Conflict with native americans(8)
Conflict between American settlers and Native Americans arose from the westward expansion of the United States in search of land and resources. As settlers moved west, they negotiated treaties to remove Native Americans from their lands, often by force, pushing tribes onto reservations over the next 30 years through wars that killed hundreds. Attempts were also made to assimilate Native American cultures, including through boarding schools, but many Native Americans resisted giving up their traditions and way of life. The conflicts and policies of the U.S. government nearly destroyed many Native American societies.

While the Western genre declined in popularity by the 1970s, its themes and conventions continue to influence other genres like science fiction and action films.
The gangster film genre
The document provides an outline for understanding gangster films by examining seven key parameters: the nature of the protagonist and antagonist, the shape of the dramatic action, the catalytic event, the resolution, the narrative style, and the narrative tone. It then analyzes the 1999 Indian film "Vaastav: The Reality" based on these parameters, summarizing that the film realistically depicts the protagonist's descent into the Mumbai underworld and harsh resolution when he is targeted by the police.
Conventions of the Gangster Film Genre
The openings of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Rocknrolla, and Layer Cake establish traditional gangster film conventions through settings, costumes, props, and music. Snatch and 44 Inch Chest also utilize these conventions to introduce the gangster characters and criminal plots. Evaluation of the openings provides context clues that tie the films to the gangster genre through rundown urban areas, suits, guns, drugs, money, and voiceovers.
Levi strauss Theory
Claude Levi-Strauss was a French anthropologist in the early 1900s who developed the theory of binary opposites. He argued that we understand words based on their relationship with their opposite (e.g. hero and villain). Binary opposites are commonly used in storytelling, especially in films, to provide protagonists and antagonists as well as themes of good vs evil. Reality television also employs binary opposites by pairing people with opposing traits, such as beauty and intelligence, to complete challenges.
Strauss binary opposites
Strauss developed the theory of binary opposites, which argues that words derive meaning from their relationship with opposing words. Binary opposites are frequently used in films, especially horror, with common pairs including good vs evil, sane vs insane, and human vs supernatural. While opposites were once simple, like good vs bad in fighting films, modern films use more complex and unusual pairs, as seen in the gradual revelation of vampires vs werewolves in the Twilight series. Harry Potter also relies on the clear binary of Harry as the good guy opposed to Voldemort as the evil one.

It describes including gory shots and blood in the trailer to portray violence. The location of a train station was unconventional but added intrigue.

Treatment of Advanced Portfolio
The document summarizes plans for a horror film trailer targeting a 15 certificate audience. It will feature a child murderer who hears voices and kills victims. The trailer will show the murderer as a troubled child and later killing 3 victims, leaving their fate ambiguous. It aims to imply the voice the murderer hears is real. Common horror genre tropes like masks, weapons and an ominous ending are discussed to create intrigue and suspense around the murderer's identity.
Minority Report
The poster focuses on Tom Cruise's face with his name in large letters at the top to emphasize that the film is being sold based on his star power. The title "Minority Report" is aligned below in a smaller font to accommodate Cruise's name. The tagline "this year everybody runs" at the bottom hints that everyone is involved in the story. The color scheme and sci-fi computer pattern around Cruise's eye provide clues about the dark and science fiction elements of the film without revealing if Cruise is the hero or villain.
Corpse Bride New
This document analyzes a film poster. It notes that the play on words in the title suggests it may be a dark comedy. The man in the center is dressed in a smart, slightly old-fashioned style suit like he is going to a wedding, matching the tagline. In the background is a cute dog, showing the film is not entirely dark and conveying irony as the creatures are dead but still happy. The gothic font and inclusion of Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp signal it is a Tim Burton film. Johnny Depp is featured prominently, showing he is partly being used to promote the film.
Textual Analysis of Minority Report Poster
The poster emphasizes Tom Cruise's name to attract fans of action films. The title "The Minority Report" is sophisticated and doesn't clearly convey the plot, suggesting the film is for older audiences. The tagline "everybody runs" implies major events and ties to an image of Cruise running. Cruise dominates the poster, appearing determined in his role in an organization called "pre crime" that prevents crime, attracting male audiences but also potentially females due to his star power. The colors and imagery overall imply a futuristic sci-fi thriller.

Western Films
- 2. Conventions of a Western • Westerns are devoted to telling stories set primarily in the later half of the 19th century • Western films commonly feature as their protagonists stock characters such as cowboys, gunslingers, and bounty hunters, often depicted as semi- nomadic wanderers who wear Stetson hats, bandannas, spurs, and buckskins, use revolvers or rifles as everyday tools of survival, and ride between dusty towns and cattle ranches on faithful steeds. • Westerns usually depict the bad guys in black clothes and the good guys in white clothes. • Western films often depict conflicts with Native Americans. • Recurring themes of Westerns include Western treks or perilous journeys (e.g. Stagecoach) or groups of bandits terrorising small towns such as in The Magnificent Seven. • The Western film genre has portrayed much about America's past, glorifying the past-fading values and aspirations of the mythical by-gone age of the West.
