The assignment will require you to write a textual analysis of two of the following three options: a film, a television episode, or a video game that all belong to the same genre. For your analysis, you should first identify recurring elements or conventions of the genre (such as characters, narratives, settings, props, camerawork, sound, ideology, etc.) and then examine how some of these appear in your selected texts. Make sure to consider and discuss the similarities and differences in how the genre is presented in each media format:
➢What elements stay the same across media formats?
➢What differs due to the change in format?
➢How does the media format affect how the story is told?
➢Is the text self-consciously manipulating genre conventions? Working within or against them?
