Genre's

• Genre is a type or category of a film
• A cross genre is when two genres like a thriller and comedy are used in a film.
• Conventions of actions movies are: fast moving, fighting, transports-car chase, guns/weapons, stunts, some slow contrasts to action, explosions, hero/villain.
• Genre is important in PDE because the right audience where money is going to be made needs to be targeted so for example in sci- fi movies only men would go and watch those films mostly but to get the woman coming to watch that film, they may add a cover of a man and woman staring at each other to make the woman think the movie is a romance as well.
• For the above picture the genre from this cover would be seen as an action film. There is transport in the air, the robot has a big gun, the background looks wrecked and exploded and those are conventions of an action film
