Seminar 1 Animations What is a genre ?





These are current examples of the Animations we looked at as part of the talk for understanding.

Notes from seminar 1 "what is a genre ?", we talked about the basic categorising of films and why they are given a set type of category. Why are films easily recognised in content e.g. "Horror" would feature a lot of blood, fear, threat, blood and gore etc, we categories these types of films based on what they feature. Main problem with genres is that it could be categorised for anything like music which also features genres e.g. Rap, Rock, Jazz etc so this could also be confused with the meaning genres an its meaning. Genres are a statement of categorisation that is not really obvious because when it is referred to it could mean anything, because it does not stand for one meaning alone, it was considered by others as confusing and indirect, but to some it becomes very natural and instantly recognisable to be a label for a form of music, movie or type of something. Another point that was later recognised in the session it that genres can collaborate with one another and can be fused whether it is in music or a film e.g. Scifi/Horror, Aliens is a prime example of a dark but unnatural theme based movie so it possesses two aspect of specific genres.
