What is genre?

Types of genres:

Genre is a style or category that revolves around film, it can then become a sub genre where there is a subdivision within a genre. 

Hybrid genre is a genre that blends themes and elements from two or more genres such as a rom-com so the audience would see a blend of both elements/themes. 

Code conventions are messages or hints used within a film so viewers are able to identify what the genre of that film may be. 

Genre topes are a familiar and repeated symbol,meme,theme shown throughout a film which make them quite cliché.



My favourite genre is horror as it leaves you thrilled and on the edged of your seat waiting to know what happens next, my favourite thing about this genre are the twists that may happen within the type of film.
