Chapter 4 of Film: From Watching to Seeing, writing homework help

After reviewing the discussion of genre in Chapter 4 of Film: From Watching to Seeing, demonstrate your understanding of one selected genre using a feature-length film.

Note:
Several films are listed in Chapter 4 as emblematic of a specific
genre ( Gangster, Western, Horror, Mystery, Fantasy, Romantic). You are
allowed to choose a film or genre not mentioned in Chapter 4, but you
are strongly encouraged to email your professor to receive approval
before doing so.

In 800 to 1200 words

• Explain genre
  theory and, using Chapter 4 of the text as a reference, thoroughly
  describe the conventions and attributes of your selected genre.
• Identify
  a feature-length film that fits this genre and provide a basic summary
  of the movie. As you develop this summary, remember the differences
  between a film’s story and a film’s plot and how these differences can
  lead to the inclusion of genre elements.
• Interpret at least two
  genre conventions exhibited in your chosen feature-length film that help
  classify it in the selected genre. Be sure to provide a specific
  example of each convention (e.g., a particular scene or plot component).
• Provide
  an example of a third convention from your chosen feature-length film
  and explain how this convention expands the boundaries of the specified
  genre.
