Genre...

"Think about genre!"

Again!!!?? I almost yelled out when i read the email either david or paul sent to us.

-> This sentence doesn't mean to be offensive, just a few exclamation mark mixed with a bit question marks.


Exclamate that Wowoo! we have been discussing 'Genre' through out two courses, for one year, and now it's my third semester and second year to get back to it. From this point of view, genre must be a very very very important element in film.

Question that isn Genre sometimes comes a bit subjective?

I'm not saying that i know genre very much, or i can explain it thoroughtly, but i wish i could say it right.


Film genres are usually be categorized by three,

--> Setting: indicated by locations/background. (e.g.country/culture->Western, Eastern)
Mood: the emotions be carried through the film. (e.g. comedy/tragedy/thriller)
Format: the film be presented by the particular equipment or in a specific manner (e.g. animation)

-According to previous lectures and tutorial discussion, and a bit of my internet research.
