Prior to starting my final project, I had done research on the Western genre of film. Above is the PowerPoint I made detailing the conventions of the Western genre. From my research I had learned that westerns aimed to capture the feeling of westward expansion and mastering the wild west while still having a sense lawlessness. The setting of a western is essential to establishing the tone of the story. Whether it be a honorable sheriff that protects the town from the bandits or the haunted pueblo town, Western invokes a sense of fantasy and storytelling that aims to get the audience invested into the world of the wild west.
