5  . ted - You can see that he and the man is laughing which can connote that its funny , another thing would be the fact that he is a walking talking teddy bear .

good boys - The boys seem to be quite young and look as if they have been involved with something hence why they look all messed up and dirty .

hotel Transylvania -  maturity of people would guess that this is comedy as it seems to be for kids and its a animated movie with monsters but they don't look scary in anyway  so it just seems to be a comedy .

6. A genre that most teenagers would prefer would have to be rather romance , horror or social realism . With romance it would be because a lot of teens would like a boyfriend/girlfriend so they would preferably watch it to just have a sense of what its like ( not to sure ) . Horror because , a lot of teens like a good horror  and like to watch it to keep them entertained throughout the day . Social realism because teens would possibly be going through something and need shows like this to know that it happens to others and use it to help with problems as specific characters could relate to their problems 

7. the top five ingredients to make up comedy would have to be , crime as it adds a lot of laughs , something embarrassing happening to the character adds awkwardness   . the characters doing an activity that is dangerous ( the main event that changes something ) it would still add some suspense but would be funnier as they would be screaming , crying , laughing ....

L/O: to implement genre codes and conventions 

trailers - elf(2003) , a christmas Karen , peter Rabbit 2 , kung fu panda 2 , Madagascar 3  - I've noticed in comedy movie the character /s have to over come  a mission but struggles along the way due to their smartness . animals seem to act like humans and the humans act like little kids like in elf and there is a use of swear words or PG swear words .     the character/s seem to act very chilled out in serious situations and the animals in dreamwork movies act weird to human like activities like when a pillow exploded the penguin thought it was made of little penguins . they also tend to get them selves in a lot of action like activities . there is serious music played during the action scenes but the character/s doesn't react but gets very stupid when acting serious
