LO3: Genre Theory

The main genre is action adventure.

These common elements are common characteristics and tropes associated with a particular genre.Barry Keith Grant 1995 all genres have sub genres.

  • Example 1 the scene where they are driving through the glass scene this has both the sub romance genre and the main action adventure genre. The scene does this by using the clever switching of shots. From a shot that is inside the building to driving out through the window and switching to romance using the actors gestures and eye contact to make the shot romantic. This shows both genres and creates the mixed feelings of happiness a romance as well as action an excitement in the audience. 




  • A second example of the main genre of the film (action adventure). This is when the heroic protagonist overcomes the Antagonist at the end of the film.

Patrick Phillips (1996) genre offers Comfortable Reassurance (examples of how a product is predictable).
In the film Free Guy the film uses mise on scene to create comfortable reassurance several pop culture references from other games such as rainbow cars from GTA V and also cosmetics and skins from other games


Ransom and stafford 1999 helps to minimise risk and predict expenditure (how much money they need to make the film). makes it easier to market and sell products. Jodie Comer Ryan Reynolds.
