Research- task 11: What is genre?


You tell your friend that you're going to the movies. The first question that he or she may ask you is, 'what kind of movie is it?' If you tell him or her that's it's a comedy, drama, horror or western, your friend will immediately know exactly what kind of experience you'll both have over the next couple of hours.
Genre:
Genre is used to group various types of art according to a predictable range of features and expectations. So if you go into a bookstore and buy a fantasy novel, you'll be expecting to read about an imaginary place with fairy tale elements such as wizards with supernatural powers and magic and not a non-fiction account of the Vietnam War.

Gangster: Good fellas

Gangster films were very common back in the 80's and early 90's. Gangster films have very similar features between each other. The setting of most gangster films seem to be in urban or central cities. This is mainly where all the gambling and drug dealing is made as there is many access to wide roads and abandoned warehouses giving the gangsters an opportunity to deal drugs undetected and in private areas. in almost all gangster films there will be hand guns and pockets knifes. these are weapons that can be concealed very easily so they wont be detected by federal police. besides the props, Gangster films will have an importance of the costumes of the characters. I realised that in these gangster films the higher up a person is in importance of a gang the more formal he will dress. As these films were produced in the 80's - 90's you will normally see quite a lot of browns, on and in cars, inside homes, bars, and the colour of their shoes.    



Sci-fi: Chronicle



Chronicle is an hybrid film. this means that it has a mix of sci-fi, action, and drama
