Genre

The film; 'The Good The Bad & The Ugly', is typical of it Western genre by iconographies, narrative, representations and ideologies.

Iconography:
The first thing that i noticed when watching, 'The Good The Bad & The Ugly' was Iconography, which connotes Western. The scene is sit in a dessert like surrounding, most Western films are set in a dessert, therefore very conventional. As well, Western films are known for there male characters to wear Stetson hats, and all 3 of the men in this scene wore one, this is once again a typical convention of a Western film. Other elements such as there clothing and the colours that they wore i.e. browns and greens, the usage of guns, all give off the same conventions of a Western film.

Narrative:
The storyline of the film resembles many Western films, for example the Hero is challenged by the villans, and therefore many show downs occur in order for the Hero to defeat the villan.
