Codes and Conventions of the sitcom genre

Common codes and conventions:

- Diegetic sound is rarely used, only background music
- Main characters introduced central on screen
- Typically under a minute in length
- Action montage - e.g. The Addams Family and Malcolm in the Middle



I now need to decide whether I will subvert the codes and conventions or stick with them in my own piece.
