Sub genre - a type of genre in a genre, for example a thriller.
Hybrid genre - Something which has two different genres built into one for a film, example would be an action thriller.
What is a genre?
A genre is a set off conventions usually through iconography, familiar narrative, mise-en-scene, actors and style off reprensation. Genres are not static but constantly renegotiated between industry and audience. It is a combination off familiar reassurance and new twists.
Genre will help aid me in my brief as it will plan the basics for me, so if i choose horror it wouldn't be set out in a happy farm, it would be set out in dark woods or something that the audience would not expect. It is a creative strategy used by film producers to ensure the audience identification with a film.
Genre offers comforting reassurance in a uncomfortable world. The bad guys in films are always killed or punished so genre is a way off balancing life.
With my brief it will function like a language, it will set rules and vocabulary which will organize meaning.
