What is Genre?
The word genre refers to the story elements that an audience will expect the film to explore. For example like, danger, romance, humour, crime and technology. Genres set up expectations in the audience and the writer of the scripts identify the genre of their film to stand a better chance of it connecting with the audience. Genres help writers focus the scope of a story and it also limits the stories choices.
Examples:
Audiences expect a well told war story to reveal the outcome of a conflict and the film dramatises whether its one battle or a world war.
An audience will expect a love story to reveal how the lovers get together and if they stay with one another.
