stories - they all tell stories, whether those stories involve adventure, crime or romance and they often but not always, end happily.
camerawork - particular kinds of shots are used e.g. sequences involving establishing shots followed by mid shots of characters, shot/reverse shots to show character interaction and in particular close ups to show the characters emotions.
stoires use dialogue to tell themselves. occasionally, monologues are built in (as voiceovers, a character telling a story).
music is used to punctuate the action, create effects (suspense, tension) and underline emotional moments.
particular subgenres tend to have items which make them immediately identinfiable - police cars, blue lights, operating theatres, scalpels,triage/ reception areas in hospitals. icons of the genre, they symbolise the (sub)genre.
