Spy Kids is a spy-comedy hybrid from the action and adventure genre. A convention of the extract is suspense and jeopardy this is used in the wedding sequence when they are attacked by helicopters. This is typical of the action and adventure genre because there is often conflict in AA films.
Another convention of the extract is spectacle when during the wedding sequence the newly wedded parents jump off the cliff and there is a high angle shot of the steep cliff this also creates suspense and tension because the audience are unaware of whether or not the couple will survive the jump. It fits the spy-comedy sub genre because after the fall they release heart shaped parachutes which is supposed to be humorous.
