What is Genre? Well genre is a term to determine a film’s category and we identify the genre of a film by maybe where it’s set, props or even actors, but some films can relate to two genres for example horror and thriller or romantic comedy, they add in certain thing’s that relate to these genres but different genres have meaning like horror takes you away from reality whilst thriller keeps you in reality.
But genre can also be identified outside of films like TV Programmes and magazines, for example, The Big Bang Theory is classed as Comedy giving it a genre category and a magazine can be about romance making it a romantic magazine, with a genre we will know what is expected in that genre like horror we want to see monsters or in comedy we want to laugh. Everything that is media related pretty much has a genre to it, having a genre is important because it gives a pattern and has a established audience who are interested in that certain genre and also gives what category the media product is.
For me genre is what type of film the film is and I would expect certain thing's within that film that contains a certain genre.
