Topic Introduction:
Genre is considered a classification of music, art, literature, or film. Genre is made up of many different components, which helps the viewers understand the kind or type of film they are watching. Some components consists of story, plot, situations, locations, themes, values, and characters. Some other genres are comedy, horror, young adult, science fiction, and etc...
Background Information:
The word genre comes from the French word for 'kind' or 'class'. The term is widely used in expression literary theory, media theory, and more recently linguistics, to refer to a distinctive type of 'text'*. Genre isa style or type of music, literature, movies, or other media. Some genres (styles) are used in more than one form of art or communication. The purpose of a genre is to help you figure out how people tend to act, react, and interact in the situation in which you are writing. So if you tell your readers you are giving them a “movie review,” they will have some predictable expectations about the content, organization, style, and design of your text.
Content Application:
For a class project we were told to pick a genre, analyze the genre we chose, and to put what we learned into a power point. After we had to summarize all of the information we put into our power point onto a poster board. Comedy is a genre of fiction that consists of discourses or works intended to be humorous or amusing by inducing laughter, especially in theatre, film, stand-up comedy, television, radio, books, or any other entertainment medium. Comedy means a branch of drama, which deals with everyday life and humorous events. It also means a play of light and amusing type of theatre.
Reflection:
I have learned that film genre is a stylistic or thematic category for motion pictures based on similarities either in the narrative elements, aesthetic approach, or the emotional response to the film. There are a few different types of genre in literature. Genre is important in order to be able to organize writings based on their form, content, and style.
