Genre Theory

Sorting film and tv into genres is problamatic their are no set standards. Genres are far too broad in terms for example soaps, westerns etc.

However there are sub-genres within for example 'Four Weddings and a funeral' starring Hugh Grant is a comedy romance.

What defines a films genre?
- narrative
- mise-en-scene
- characters
- music
- the conclusion/outcome.
