GENRE:
- Genre: means ‘type’ or ‘kind’ – putting something into a category.
- e.g you can clearly link each of the music artists or films to a specific genre or sub-genre.
- Stars are often associated with a particular genre.
- Iconography (familiar objects within a genre)
- Codes and conventions (what is expected and typical of the genre?)
- Generic expectations – we take pleasure in predicting the predictable?!
- Genre offers the audience a structure.
For those of you who are struggling with the idea of genre, this might help...
