Strength
- genres offer comfortable reassurance
- Intertextuality from media products that went before i.e. James Bond, Mission Impossible etc.
- Offers emotional pleasure- happy, sad and visceral pleasures- excitement, fear, laughter
- films in this genre are quite common
Crime/thriller
Jimmy is a geeky nerd in an a typical American high school, he always gets picked on and is always belittled by the popular kids, but one cold winters afternoon the school is invaded by another student, Phil Hartley wearing a long black trench coat and carrying a sawn of shot gun, Jimmy must use his quick thinking, ingenuity and intelligence to save as many people as he can before they get found.
Strength
- The geeky kid saving the day (underdog) is an enigma code which makes the audience think and entices them in.
Weakness
- The use of prop/blank firing weapons could present logistical problems.
- we would need to be careful on moral and ethical grounds as it is representing children in life or death situations.
