Genre Research
Films are put into different genres depending on common conventions. Each genre has a list of conventions that an audience would expect to see when watching the film. The film does not have to have all the conventions the genre labels, but it is likely to have a few of the obvious ones. Genres help to target a specific niche audience.
Genres do change over time and can merge together to become hybrids. This means the genre of film is more than one. For example, Rom Com or Action Thriller.
The conventions of the genre of film can be to do with: mood, period, setting, props, themes, plot, content, iconography, mise-en-scene.
Some of the classic film genres are listed below:
- Action
- Thriller
- Science Fiction (Sci-Fi)
- Comedy
- Drama
- Horror
- War
- Western
- Musical
- Crime
- Adventure
