Generic Conventions are the features shown by texts that allow them to be put into a specific genre.
In our trailer for year 13 we have played about with the generic conventions in that we had originally planned to make our film of a hybrid genre. From the start it was intended that our trailer would be made to advertise a romantic thriller, however since then we have further developed the story line of the film (which I will post later in time) and we came to the conclusion that it lacks enough romance to be labeled a romantic thriller and it is therefore just a thriller. This could again raise the question of whether or not our trailer could still be considered postmodern, however as Rach commented in an earlier post there are other reasons which back this up, for example the fact that the trailer jumps around in time, and shows images of a dystopian future.
