Genre, a category of artistic production characterized by
similarities in composition and style, is a term used to discuss
literature, music, art, and film. It is particularly useful in
critical applications because it distinguishes a work within a
context of similar works. In film, we are familiar with certain
broad genre categories such as horror, science-fiction, romance,
and drama.
Understanding genre helps provide the viewer with certain
expectations about film. For instance, the film
The Conjuring trailer (Version 2)
is of the horror genre and thus can be discussed in context with
other horror films. More specifically, it is of the sub-genre,
supernatural horror, so it can be discussed in context with, say,
The Exorcist trailer
. Making this distinction enables the audience to situate their
reaction within a particular framework.
Such framework is important to our work here. In this
discussion
Identify a film and classify it according to its genre (or sub-
genre). Include a link(s) to a trailer or scene(s) from the film.
Discuss the conventions that are typical in films of that genre
(or sub-genre).
Explain how this specific film meets the expectations of its
genre.
200 words in length. Support your claims with examples from
the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and
properly cite any references. APA style
need to cite off of the chapters provided!! No animaiton movies
