In simple words, genre is a way of putting a movie into a list of words (e.g horror, comedy, romance etc.) In almost every movie you will find there is more than one genre listed.Genre gives out a message to an audience, letting them know what the movie is about, reassurance that there will be some sort of twist and has an affect on peoples everyday life, e.g We see somebody do something bad in a movie, we expect them to be punished and a hero always saves the day.
Genres tend to work in cycles over the years, they start, they become popular, they go out of fashion, they stop, they wait a while, then they restart the cycle again.
A good, ok start, but there are still many posts missing: technical terms, Camera terms, semiology, and narrative. Still lots to be done here.
