Steve Neale
Genre theory
Steve Neale states that 'genres are instances of repetition and difference' and 'genres are
not systems, they are processes of systemisation'.
Steve Neale argues that people receive pleasure from repetition and difference. People
obtain entertainment from observing how the conventions of the genre are
manipulated, they may also enjoy the stretching of a genre in new directions and the
consequent shifting of our expectations.
Richard Maltby
Genre theory
Richard Maltby believed "The success of Hollywood is reliant on the
combination of predictable elements with variation. "He believed that
the only reason Hollywood is a global success is because we as the
audience go into a film with an idea of what to expect and prefer to be
able to predict what is going to happen. There theory suggest that the
audience don't like surprises in regards to not knowing what to expect.
