No brand loyalty
1) What genre does your chosen film fit into?
Action Adventure and Dystopian Science Fiction.

2) How can you tell it fits that genre? Be specific with reference to the trailer.
I can tell that its adventure because it has quests and different locations and the reason why I can tell its action is because there are props such as weapons and arrows which have connotations of fighting and violence. There is also deaths which is a narrative feature of action films. I can tell it is science fiction because its futuristic.
