Genre definition - When films are categorized according to there setting, theme topic or mood etc. However, recently sub-genres and hybrids have been created due to a film fitting into more than one category.
Genres were developed as a way of film markers categorising films so that they could traget specific audiences. This means that now audiences expect to see certain conventions within films. The use of genre can also help audiences decide if they are going to like a certain type of film without seeing it, as they know what conventions and things they expect to see. This also helps to aim the film at a specific group of people rather than a mass audience, as that particular target audience is more likely to enjoy it.
This video shows clips from differnt films within a certain genre and how some of the clips can appear twice due to the fact that they are hybrids.
