3. Why is genre important to
film producers?
Genre is important to them so they can categorize their
film and sell it to the right audience. If they don’t
know what genre their film falls into then they can’t
start the selling process
When they know what genre it is they can make sure
the film follows the codes and conventions of that
particular genre and make sure it is as appealing as
possible to their target audience.
4. Why is genre important to
film audiences?
Genre is important to them so they can easily identify
whether they will like the film and make the instant
decision of whether going to see it or not.
If the film producer doesn’t give their film a genre then
it won’t sell well to the audience as they can’t decipher
whether they will like it or not.

Genre is the repetition and variation of familiar
conventions but it is not just a simple means of
labeling or classifying films. Genres change over time
and hybrids emerge.
Hybrids are where two or more genres collide together
to create a different type of film but just as enjoyable.
