Genre is a style or category of art, music, or literature.
But more specifically in film, genre refers to the method based on similarities
in the narrative elements from which films are constructed. An example of genre
is Comedy, a typical comedy film is 'Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy'
which is about “a Hotshot television anchorman Ron Burgundy welcomes upstart
reporter Veronica Corningstone into the male-dominated world of 1970s
broadcast news”. Other common film genres include action and adventure,
Thriller, War, Romance and Crime. When films are within the same genre certain
aspects are generally kept the same; for instance setting, in a teenage film
the setting is often at a school, shopping mall or another location teenagers
can relate to; characters and spheres of action, in a romance film there are
stereotypically two lovers; and themes are kept in same, in musicals there are
themes of celebration, tension of dancing and singing and entertainment.
