A genre is a type of art form that is considered a class due to shared characteristics. Subgenres further classify stories within a genre. Hybrid genres combine elements of two or more genres. The document then provides examples of conventions for several popular genres including action, horror, thriller, romance, western, and sci-fi. Conventions are common tropes or roles that help define a genre, such as heroes, villains, supernatural elements, and discoveries.

2. What is a genre?
 A genre is a particular type
of literature, music, film, or other
art form which people consider
as a class because it
has special characteristics. It
is used to give viewers an idea
to watch and easier for directors
/ screenwriters to make a film,
as they know the basics for a
successful movie in that area.

3. Sub-genre
 A subgenre is a subordinate within a genre.
Two stories being the same genre can still
sometimes differ in subgenre. Subgenres
exist to classify all possible stories people
can make. For example, if a fantasy story
has darker and more frightening elements of
fantasy, it would belong in the subgenre
of dark fantasy; whereas another fantasy
story that features magic
swords and wizards would belong to the
subgenre of sword and sorcery. Here is an
example of subgenres of horror movies.

4. Hybrid genre
 In genre theory, the combination of two or more
genres. Back to the Future 3 (1990) combines
elements of science fiction and western films.
Such combinations can also cut across categories
such as fact and fiction.

5. Action
 Conventions are roles that characters play.
For example, in Tenet The Protagonist is a hero
trying to stop Volkov, the villain

6. Horror
 Sinister is one of my favourite horror films. This
has a genre convention of Supernatural. These
types of movies have a hero character, police
officer, creepy children and demons

7. Thriller
 The Old Guard is a hybrid of Action
and thriller. It has some common
thriller genre conventions, for
example there is a main villain who
drives the plot; the hero chases
leads, which can lead to red
herrings; protagonist is often a final
victim; the villain cannot be
reasoned with

8. Romance
 Forrest Gump is a romantic comedy-drama film, it
has common conventions like harmers, the love
triangle and external goals.

9. Western
 Westworld is a HBO series about the
Wild West. It has the common genre
conventions, like trains, horses, guns
and love interests.

10. SciFi
 Interstellar is a SciFi thriller film, it also has genre
conventions of alien characters, people making
scientific discoveries, exploring new planets
