4. From French "kind" or "sort―, genre is the term for any
category of literature or other forms of art or
entertainment.
Genre specifies certain categorization of different
mediums of art. (Film, Literature, Art etc…)
There are many types of art but not all art is the
same; this is the same for each specified field of art
too. So genre is implemented to categorize and
order the different types of art.
Some genres overlap and thus creates sub-genres or
Fusion-Genres.
EG: some action films also incorporate adventure
aspects too, this creates an Action-Adventure genre.
Another example includes some romantic films
include comedy = Rom-Coms.
5. The American Film Institute defines western films as those "set in the American
West that embody the spirit, the struggle and the demise of the new frontier."
Westerns are devoted to telling stories set primarily in the later half of the 19th
century in the American Old West, hence the name.
Westerns usually incorporate typical good guys (white hats) and bad guys
(black hats).
Another typical tool used in westerns are the use of the Damsel in distress,
whom the protagonist must save.
Due to being a popular genre (circa 1930s onward) pre-civil rights movement,
many westerns portrayed American Indians as being ―savages‖ and Indian
tribes were often the antagonists of many plotlines.
A popular sub-genre is Spaghetti Westerns, these films were produced later on
in the genre’s history; specifically during the 60s and 70s, they encompassed
more violence and action than their predecessors.

Noir films comprise many different types of stories and plotlines, particularly shady and
hard-boiled stories.
―Noir‖ translates to ―Black‖ in French.
The clichés of film noir have inspired parody since the mid-1940s.
Film noir is often associated with a low-key, black-and-white visual style. Many classic

also constantly rains in some pictures.
Some Noir films are categorized by mood and attitude, others by character and plot,
some are even categorized by the visual style.
The low-key lighting schemes of many classic film noirs are associated with stark
light/dark contrasts and dramatic shadow patterning—a style known as chiaroscuro.
Neo-Noir is a style often seen in modern motion pictures and other forms that
prominently utilize elements of film noir, but with updated themes, content, style, visual
elements or media that were absent in films noir of the 1940s and 1950s.
As a whole, most film Noirs are very pessimistic and usually have bleak, ambivalent
conclusions
