Genre presentation katie and sophie
1. What is genre? Genre is a loose set of criteria of a
category of artistic composition marked by a
distinctive style, form or content. It is a way to
determine the different types of music, film, media
etc.

3. Genre Theorists
Daniel Chandler: Conventional definitions of genre tend to be based on the
notion that they constitute particular conventions of content (such as themes or
settings) and/or form (including structure and style) which are shared by the texts
which are regarded as belonging to them.
David Bordwell: Notes that „any theme may appear in any genre‟ (Bordwell 1989)
„One could… argue that no set of necessary and sufficient conditions can mark
off genres from other sorts of groupings in ways that all experts or ordinary film-
goers would find acceptable‟.
Tom Ryall (1978): Genre provides a framework of structuring rules, in the shape of
patterns/forms/styles/structures, which act as a form of „supervision; over the work
of production of filmmakers and the work of reading by the audience.
Rick Altman: Argues that genres are usually defined in terms of media language
(SEMANIC elements) and codes in the Western e.g. landscape, horses, guns,
characters/stars like Clint Eastwood or John Wayne, or certain ideologies and
narratives.
Neale (1990): Genre is constituted by “specific systems of expectations and
hypothesis which spectators bring with them to the cinema and which interact
with the films themselves during the course of the viewing process.”

6. What’s the difference?
Horror/Thriller…
Thriller is a movie based on suspense, showing
especially the victim's point of of view. Horror is
more about showing "horrid" things on screen such
as murders or torture. The suspense in a thriller
does not necessarily result in gruesome acts.
The supernatural is part of horror is to scare the
audience. A thriller is not about scares, but rather
about the hero being put into danger. If the point is
to make an audience scream, it's horror. If the point
is to make the audience just feel tense, it's a thriller.
And a thriller is much harder to pull off than horror
(which is one of the easiest effects to achieve in
film).
