Genre, Sub-Genre and Audience.


Genre: A group or classification used for artistic or creative works of various kinds, other words that may be associated with the word Genre could be; Type, Category and/or Style. In terms of The Media Industry, Genre is categorised in many ways; Hip-Hop, R&B, Reggae, House are all different Genres that linked towards Music. Action, Romance, Thriller, Comedy, Sci-Fi etc.. Are all different Genres that linked to Film.


Sub-Genre is a sub category within a particular Genre. Similar to Genre there are different types of categories within the group, an example of Sub-Genres in the film category; Romantic Comedy (Rom-Com), Action Thriller, Action Adventure, Musical Horror etc.

Sub-Genres are effective as it could make films more effective as they cross Genres together and to also extend the ending of the film as they 'entertain' two different Genres.
