Media Genre Theory

Definition of Genre; the word 'genre' is taken from French and and derived from Latin and Greek, in all three language it means; kind, sort, class. Genres have characteristic features that are known and recognised by audiences and it it used to group texts together. Most of the time genre is not fixed and some films have conventions that overlap different genres, such as action-adventure or romantic-comedy.

Conventional definitions of a genre are based on the particular conventions within that theme, such as a theme, structure or style of media, which are shared by the genre, to make that genre unique to others.
