Concept of genre:
It is argued that there isn't a definition for genre. As genre will always be changing the world and peoples views will always be developing. Hybrid genres and sub-genres also add to genre to make it more complex.
Genres are constantly changing, they are in a constant state of flux:
- familiar narrative
- mise-en scene
- style representation
- actors/actresses
some of these we expect to see in certain genres; this could be cross generic ( a feature in more than one film) we could possibly see the same settings from a thriller in a murder mystery.
Genre is the crucial way of working through fears and myths;
- variation
- resolution
- repetition
Genre can also reassure the audience for example the evil villain in a film being punished at the end of the film can make the audience feel more comfortable will the way the film had ended and wouldn't be angry at the story-line.
