Genre

When making a film it is important to find its genre, because then it is easier to choose its target audience and make the content accordingly. Genre refers to the roles of stereotypical natures that films and television programmes follow. Barry Keith Grant said is 1995, '...through repetition and variation, tell familiar stories with familiar characters in familiar situations. They also encourage expectations and experiences similar to those of similar films we have already seen’. Auterism is often used in opposition to genre, an auteur director uses parts in a film in a distinctive way to produce a signature, or an individual feel to each of their films. It catergorises films by their directors style. Problems have arisen through it as films nowadays are not just the influences of one person.
