I found a few more helpful resources about film conventions. Codes and Conventions provided me with the definition for codes and conventions and explained how they pertain to media. 7 Movie Conventions That Truly Resonate In the Hunter explains all of the movie conventions in that specific movie which helped me see how to incorporate the conventions in my film. Conventions of Film Openings consists of slides that gives a run down of what film conventions are used the most in film openings. This will be very helpful in the creating of my own.
