Which genre? Crime/detective Romance Science fiction Horro r Action/Adventure

Paired Task Make a list of films that you think fit a specific genre. Be prepared to discuss these with the rest of your class.

What? BeginningMiddleEnd What sort of things should you introduce here? Main character Setting Hint towards the problem What should you develop here? The problem Change in setting Other characters Tension As bad as it can be How should you finish things off? Problem solved Return to the first setting Things are back to normal

Use descriptive language If you are saying something is “big”, why not describe it as “enormous” or “gigantic”? If you want to describe something as “scary”, you could say it was “utterly terrifying”, or “extremely scary”, or even, “petrifying” ! A beautiful thing could be described as being “incredibly beautiful” or “absolutely stunning”. Make good word selections!

Where? When? Try to be specific and describe clearly the place and time that events take place. Create suspense! As he roamed the city alone in daylight it struck him how busy this place once was. He had been to this place at the same time a year ago and couldn’t move through the crowds. The crowds had gone. “If you are out there... if anyone is out there... I can provide food, I can provide shelter, I can provide security. If there's anybody out there... anybody... please. ”

Plan, plan, plan Genre Descriptions Characters Beginning, middle and end Who, what, where, when?
