WHAT IS GENRE


GENRE refers to the method based on similarities in the narrative fundamentals from which films are constructed. When watching a film, it will fall into a certain genre and will fulfill specific codes and conventions to relate to the genre. This allows the audience to notice typical settings, enigma codes and action codes within the films. As well as conventions such as iconography, props and clothing.



All GENRES have SUBGENRES. For example:

HORROR has several different subgenres such as psychological, gore, supernatural, thriller,sci-fi and slasher.



The GENRE for our film is British Social Realism. We have chosen this genre as it allows us to create a realistic outlook on todays society, using common iconography that the audience will relate to.
