What is Genre
- Genre is a specific category or type of film,
- Genres are used to categorise different products that share similar features or characteristics,
- Within a genre there are smaller genres which are called sub-genres,
- A hybrid genre is when two or more genres are combined,
- Codes and conventions are used so the audience know what to expect,
- Genre tropes tell us about the genre through what the audience see.
My three favourite genres
1. Horror - Horror is one of my three favourite genres of film. I enjoy watching horror films as I like anticipating what is going to happen next, and really love the build up of tension and experiencing the feeling of fear so vividly that I find myself hiding behind my hands, yet still peek through the gaps between my fingers. Some of my favourite horror films are Insidious, The Conjuring and Sinister.
2. Comedy - Comedy is another of my favourite genres, purely for the fact that I enjoy laughing and comedies never fail to make me do so. I like it when there is a character presented as more 'stupid' than the others. Another convention of comedy that I like involves characters getting hurt in a more comedic light, often through accidents. Some of my favourite comedies are American Pie and Shaun Of The Dead,
3. Action - My third and final favourite genre is Action. I like watching action movies because I always find myself so engrossed in the film I am sitting on the edge of my chair anticipating what is going to happen next. I like the convention of gun fights and car chases and find that these are both great ways of keeping the audience interested in the film. My favourite action film is Kingsman.
