Genre
A genre is a style or category of art, music, or literature. Horror is the genre we have chosen for our opening required to complete AS media studies.
A sub-genre is a subdivision of a genre of literature, music, film, etc. A sub-genre of horror could be; comedy, it will combine horrific events with comedic for example Shaun of the Dead (2004).
A hybrid genre blends themes and elements from two or more different genres. In horror there are 2 main types of hybrid films; the first is Dead lands which is a cross between western and horror and the second is Alien which is a cross between sci-fi and horror.
This research has allowed me to have a greater understanding of what genre is and the different types of genre. This then allowed me to include the horror conventions needed, to make the genre clear within the main brief.
