Genre Research Task

Genre is something you can put a movie into a category for example their is different types of movie like horror for example Scream and their is action like Terminator.

We use genre for lots of different things here are the advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages:

• It offers you reassurance in a uncontrollable world.For example when the movie says it horror it would be horror not comedy and there will have to be rules to keep of the horror genre.
• It gives you a set of easy recognisable conventions.So you won't have to guess how the movie is going to be the genre will tell you what kind of movie it is.
• The genre always changes so the audience never gets bored. If every year the same kind of movie comes out the audience will be bored of watching the same thing. 
• Genre can be used to work out through myths and fears.

Disadvantages:

• We should understand how a movie functions to the relation of the genre rather than being defined by them.
• We should know that everyone expectation is a genre has to be different for example someone in the 1900 looking at a recent movie will get really scared.

We have choose horror/ thriller in our movie people are going to expect violence, death and action.

The movie that has the same theme as our movie is Scream 4 and Child's Play.Horror movies started in 1931 and it started with Frankenstein and Dracula.

I have choose this genre because it is the most popular and the most exiting genre i think that this genre is more better then other genre because their is a bit of mystery going to as well as action unlike action movie our movie has got mystery in it so this makes the movie more interesting. 

Frankenstein -
Year 1970
Director: Howard W. Koch


Childs Play:
Year :1988

Director: Tom Holland

This is a very close example to match our movie it is very close because both movie have a killers and in both movie's the other characters try to kill the villain.their is the is the conventions like blood murder and action.

Looking at these two example you can tell chucky is more scarier because it looks more realistic and more colour and contrast looking at the props you can tell the movie Frankenstien was not very thought out because it has props like a skelton if people of the 21st centuary seen Frankenstien today they would find it a comedy not a horrror movie becuase over the time technology have gone more advanced and move better.
