The key signifiers that was showing that this is a romance is the shot of the women lying on top of the topless  man. This is showing intimacy between the two.

    Genre & Subgenre

      Drama/ Mystery/ Thriller

The key signifiers that was showing that this is a mystery is the shot of the two girls with their backs facing towards us, as we cant see their faces it gives a sense of mystery also they are camouflaged to the wall. The colours of the posters are slighty dull and the fact that it involves children makes it seem like a thriller.
