Conventions of both films:
Technical Conventions (music): Dramatic music is played in ‘Lift to the Scaffold’, which adds to the intensity and the emotion of the film. Whilst ‘Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs’ features very up tempo music (i.e 15:52-18:00). Thus adds to the type of film it is as it’s a Disney film.
Genre Convention(s): Both films feature some sort of ‘romance’ in a particular way. For example ‘Lift to the Scaffold’ shows romance to be deceiving, murderous and in some ways deadly (regarding the character Florence’s actual husband). Whilst for ‘Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs’ romance is fuzzy and inspiring as such, which adds to the type of film it is even more. This is because it appeals to young audiences thus features mild romance. Whilst the other film (L.T.T.S) features the dark side of romance and so forth.

In seeing these two films (/trailers) I can determine (regarding how the media use representation) that the films fitted in to those times. For example ‘Snow White’ features the female to be in a very domestic role which elevates what the 1930’s was all about (to some people). Whilst “Lift to the Scaffold” features the main female to be very emotional and manipulative in some ways. This is some ways could represent the 1950’s. Which was very well known for the Hollywood Icon that was ‘Marilyn Monroe’. Monroe’s hairstyle became very iconic in the 1950’s onwards. Thus comparisons could be made how the character of ‘Florence’ looks in the film as she could represent Monroe in emotion and stability. Considering that Monroe’s relationships were publicized heavily in the media.
