Genre!

Genre is a type of category of film for example: Action, Romance, Thriller, Comedy, Animation :) which i love, Gangster, Horror and western.
 There are three different type of genre which are: Major genre, Sub genre and Hybrid genre.
Major genre
a important category which most people would know of because it is an obvious genre such as action.
Sub genre
this would be a minor category that is similar to a certain major genre.
Hybrid genre
combination of genres that create another type of film for example these may be horror or western.

Some key words:
Audience
analyse
construct
market
niche
characters
stars

You can guess what type of genre a films is by looking at signs for example mise-en-scene, conventions and sometimes character because some star may play specific roles in movie such as Jim Carey normally stars in comedy's which helps you define the movie easier.
Mise-en-scene- what has been put in the picture or frame of a shot this may include: the set, props, characters or the landscape.

Thriller genre
The thriller genre is a type of genre filled with suspense and tension which makes your heart pump normal thrillers contain lots of action when seeing this is normal to see chase scenes in thrillers and can contain violent such as seeing props as knife and guns are normally used within thrillers and normally contains a good person and a villain. Thing such as ransoms, captivities, heist, revenge and kidnappings are typically known to happen in these.

And the scene at the graveyard show darkness and mysteriousness which are conventions of a thriller this is a one normal setting for a thriller and it is a empty place.
And people is Hooddies is a typical costume for a thriller this is because gangs are used a lot in thrillers as they create a feeling of intimidation and fear.
