Genre Recearch Task

Genre is something that you can use to section a movie out. It is like a category for example there is different types of movies like horror , action and comedy which is the same as sport because there is different types of sport like football , cricket and rugby.

The advantages of genre .

• Genre offers you a reassurance in a uncontrollable world.
• It offers a set of easily recognisable conventions like a language.
• It was seen as a strategy used by producers to ensure audience identification and reduce the risk of a film failing.
• Genre can be seen as a way of working through importance myths and fears.
• This shows how genre is not static but is constantly re-negotiated often between industry and audience.

The disadvantages of genre.

• We should be understanding how a film text functions in relation to genre rather than being defined by them.
• We should acknowledge  that a genre features will depend on the audience understanding.

The genre  of our movie is horror and we  have chose this because we think it will be entertaining and we think it will be hard to do and it will be a task.The conventions would be to be in a dark scary place with something bad happening or going to happen to someone.
We have also chose this because it is one of the most popular genres . most people enjoy horror because it gives you a thrill it gets you hooked and you want to keep watching till the end so you know what happens it keeps you in your seat and get scared.
our horror introduction connotes to child's play because it will involve a serial killer and it will be a scary as possible.

Child's Play:
Year :1988

Director: Tom Holland

 

This is a very close example to our chosen introduction because it involves a serial killer and it will involve blood and killings. In our introduction we will have good people and one villain this connotes to shields play  because it has one bad person and Innocent people get killed.
