Genre is conveyed through many aspects in ‘King Kong’, for example camera, editing, mise en scene and sound. The genre of this film is romance, drama and action this relates to our opening scene because we want to do a hybrid of romance, drama and action, exactly like King Kong so it's a great film to look at! The narrative for this film is about an ambitious movie producer who hires a crew ship to travel to a mysterious island where they encounter a giant ape who falls in love with the leading lady actress. This is similar to what we want to do, go down the forbidden love sort of route. Where you can question whether loving a certain person does more good than bad or if it's seen right or wrong. So it's defiantly an interesting film.
We denote the first shot (mid shot) of a cute little monkey which helps us predict that the film has something to do with a monkey or some sort of ape. Then we see different shots of different apes which can connote that seeing different apes mean that later on we will see an ape that is totally different, which as we know is King Kong. We then see an establishing shot of a zoo but all the animals have limited space and aren't really free. This can also connote that the ape later on will not be free and most probably be caged, we then see a mid shot of a monkey behind bars which can have significant meaning. We then see different establishing shots of America most probably during the 1930's which is most known for it's Great Depression era, I think it's set during that period because people are living in poverty, they don't look happy, they look hungry and unemployed. Through the establishing shot we know that the film is set in New York city.
