Genre theory
Genre theory provides an important framework for understanding texts. Genres orient audiences with default expectations that help make sense of a work, though some expectations may be challenged. Competent genre readers are not confused by some expectations not being met, as the genre offers a starting point rather than a strict set of rules. Assigning a text to a genre allows audiences to decide if it will appeal to them and enables predictions about narrative events based on knowledge of other works in that genre.
Genre theory
This document summarizes several theorists' perspectives on genre theory:
1. It discusses five key functions of genre identified by The Five Functions of Genre: reinforcement of cultural ideas, creation of audience expectations, recognizable characteristics, relationship between audiences and producers to minimize financial risk, and dynamism and flexibility over time.
2. It briefly outlines four genre theorists' views: Chandler defines genre by shared conventions of content; Neale sees genres as instances of repetition and difference for audience pleasure; Hartley notes the same text can belong to different genres in different contexts; and Buckingham sees genre as a constant process of negotiation and change.
3. It poses several questions about defining and understanding genres, including whether they are
Semantic and syntactic
The document discusses semantic and syntactic approaches to horror films. Semantically, horror films typically feature isolated locations, limited characters, and props that heighten fear. They also often use low lighting at night or indoors. Syntactically, horror film narratives usually focus on one or few survivors trying to escape a threatening person or creature, inducing anxiety and fear that climaxes near the end and leaves the audience in suspense.
Genre Theory
This document discusses genre theory as it relates to film studies. It provides definitions of genre from several scholars and discusses how genre is used to categorize and organize films into groups based on common attributes. However, the boundaries between genres are noted to be fuzzy rather than clearly defined. Most films contain elements of multiple genres. Genre theory examines how a text relates to other similar texts and the context in which it is consumed. While genres help audiences and producers, they also come with criticisms such as being restrictive to creators and risk-averse for institutions.
Codes and conventions in Horror Films
The document discusses common codes, conventions, and techniques used in horror films. It begins by defining codes and conventions, and explains that codes are technical or symbolic ways of communicating meaning, while conventions are generally accepted ways of doing things within a genre. It then lists and describes several common conventions in horror films, such as films being set in isolated locations, characters ignoring threats of danger, the power being cut at scary moments, phone lines being cut, characters investigating strange noises, victims running upstairs instead of outside, and more.
