'Sub Genre' is when there are other genres within a genre. For example 'Science-Fiction' can be broken down into: Action, Time Travel, Alien ect.
'Hybrid Genre' is basically all genres together; most films are 'Hybrid Genre'. For example 'The Hunger Games' is 'Action' as well as 'Love'.
The Genre Cycle is when the genre uses new twists to make the genre itself more entertaining/less predictable for the target audience so they keep them going to the cinema. For example superhero films are popular at the moment such as 'Spiderman' so they are being re-made to make them more entertaining for the target audience. To keep the audience comfortable, writers will keep the story line similar to the original however they will use new twist to keep the audience entertained.
I have learnt that genre slowly loses its purpose because of how openly used it is. Also if the film was just one genre nothing else it would be very boring and dull for the target audience.
is it the industry who uses genre to attract an audience?
