What is Genre?
Genre is the type/style of the film/play. It helps to recognise what the film is about and make the audience to understand and/or suspect what will happen in the film. The conventions are the most important in creating genre as they are the key concepts that create the genre and make them recognise.
For example:
Convention - kissing.
Genre - Romantic Film
It make audience allready to know that the genre of the film is romantic film, as we can see the love happening there.
Advantages and Disadvantages:
The advantage of genre is that the audience are easily know what they can expect. For example parents know that they can't go with little child on "Final Destination" because the genre of this film is horror, so parents allready know that this film is not well for their childs.
Other people may not like some type of film, so they know that they will not spend their money on the film that they will not enjoy.
However, there are some disadvantages as well. As the time goes, the new genres are created, and new conventions are presented. Sometimes the genres are mixed, and it is really hard to decide what type of genre it is. When the hybrid genre appears, like comedy/horror, then its hard to decide what the film is more about. Also some people may like comedy but dont like very much the horror films, so probably they will not want to see this film.
There are lots of different conventions that suggest that the film is this genre however the film is totally about something different, which later on build big confusion in the audience mind.

It is because the film is recorded with handheld camera, also the hero is the person who is recording everything. The film is quite similar to the "Paranormal Activity", as it as well show the story by the camera used in the
