The conventions of a horror film are to Frighten and panic the audience causing alarm and have terrifying shock finales. Another convention of a horror film is the music as there would be a lot of non-diegetic music which has a very deep bass to it but also the music gets faster and faster so the audience knows it is building up to something frightening. Also there would be dark and shadowy lighting which would run throughout the film to add more suspense.

The conventions of a romantic comedy are the encounter of a potential couple in a strange or odd situation or circumstance. The couple are often very different in temper and how they live life, this gives the comedy to the film. This centres the film around the idea of two people finding true love.                                                                             
The music is light hearted and upbeat keeping to the theme or romance and comedy. Funny events happen which evolve the two main characters and the film beings with a voice over or some explanation of the main characters.

The conventions of an action film are a damsel in distress, who is saved by the hero and a villain who may be represented as a people or natural disaster.  Also there is a situation where the hero tries to defeat the villain he does not succeed so another event happens and the second time the hero defeats or overcomes the villain. Other conventions would be a battle and fight which is a typical in the plot and in this weapons and gadgets would be used. Explosions and destruction is another main convention of this genre as it makes the audience worry.
