Coursework: Genre

Genre is classifying something and grouping it with others. Genre has to follow a set of conventions (rules) so that the audience can recognise what they are seeing, however genre cant just be the same thing over and over again other wise the audience will get bored and stop going to see those types of films. To stop this from happening the directors of the films had to think of twists and turns, new and interesting ways to show a certain genre. This is how hybrids were made. Genre cycles is what keeps them rotating once on cycle is done another continues, but now we don't just have pure genre cycles we have hybrids. Hybrids are different genre's linked together a example of a famous hybrid would be a romantic comedy or (romcom).
