All About Genre


Genre is a style or category of art, music or literature. A Sub-Genre is a subdivision of a genre of literature, music, and film. A hybrid genre is a genre in fiction that blends themes and elements from two or more different genres. The ‘Codes’ in Codes & Conventions are a system of signs, which create meaning. Codes can be both technical i.e lighting and symbolic. A genre trope is a familiar and repeated symbol, meme, theme , motif , etc – they are usually tied heavily to a certain genre. For example, a horror film and a mad scientist.

Allegiant From The Divergent series

From the image, we can tell the film genre is sci-fi, most specifically because of the advanced weapons pictures.  I like this genre because it transports audience members to a future environment we don't know about. 


Fast and furious 7

The film still above is from an Action genre. I like action films because they excite me and always have something going on.
