I do not think much when it comes to something visual. Most of the time I just go along with it without even knowing it. I never knew that whenever I watched a preview I determine the genre of it, but I do know that I determined the genre when I watched the preview. Confusing? It's probably true to most people like me. We are just too use to it that we just do not think about it any more.
Horror, romance, thriller, etc a preview of a film lets you know what to expect from it. This expectation gives way to what the viewer will be excited about. If a viewer is about love stories, they will in fact go for the loving happy couple preview promising of a romantic love story apart from the terrified dark horror. This is also an example of how we genre movies and we do not get the outcome we expect we get disappointed. I have experienced a lot of this. For example when I went out to watch "The Messenger," I was expecting to get the scare of a life time, however was disappointed when the horror was not what I assume it would be.
Movies have genres and they do teaches moral (some of them). I agree with this introduction to the chapter about moving teaching us how we are to be in the world. Movies does play a big role in our society. Most girls dreams of a fairy tale wedding, a handsome prince charming, a honeymoon in Hawaii and romantic walks on the sun setting beaches, that is because that's how every happy couple were made out to do/be like by the media.
