FILM CODES AND GENRE CONVENTIONS

Film codes and genre conventions


In the production of a film, media rules and conventions are crucial.
Codes are a series of symbols that have a specific meaning. Technical codes, written codes, and symbolic codes are the three main forms of codes. All of the equipment and technologies utilized in the production of a film are referred to as technical codes. Consider the camera. They are necessary to aid in the progression of a movie's narration. Written codes are the language used to communicate information about a film's topic, characters, narrative, and so on. Text, images, and typography are the three basic types of written codes.


Symbolic codes, according to Roland Barthes, are the symbols used to symbolize or define a concealed message. Symbolic codes, according to Roland Barthes, are the "voice of symbol." They are the ethnical symbols that are utilized in a set. For example, a movie character destroying everything in his room might indicate that the guy is enraged. The setting, the color, the acting, the visual arrangement, and the mise en scene are all examples of symbolic signals. In media studies, symbolic codes play an important role. They are used by media producers to give a movie or other media product additional significance.
Technical codes reflect all of the approaches that a film director use to generate effects in a scene, therefore giving meaning to a particular element. They are used to highlight the story told in a film.

Conventions:

The elements that are commonly featured in a film are known as cinematic conventions. This includes everything like the scenario, props, people, and lighting. Conventions are divided into three categories: The form convention describes how the public expects a film to be ordered. The story convention refers to the storyline of the film, whereas the genre convention refers to all of the components that contribute to determining the film's genre or kind.
