genre

do you think genres are timeless ?

Audience are constantly wanting more out of a film e.g horror, audiences want to see more gore, a higher scare. If audiences watched a horror film from 50 years ago there wouldn't b that element and it would be more comical than scary.

why do you think hybrid/sub genres are becoming more common ?

I feel they are becoming more common due to a demanding audience. makers of film have a challenge to surprise and attract audiences to make money. Hybrid genres are a norm now in the film industry and audiences expect to see this. sub genres are for ever growing with the demand of audiences wanting elements to films that best suit them and what they want to watch.

how does our thriller conform or challenge genre conventions?

Our media project conformed to genre conventions as the themes, settings, mood and format are all what you would expect for a thriller video of this era. As well as this, the genre could be defined through the performer. The killer is big and intimidating and this is typical of what you would expect for a killer in a thriller.
