Genre Task

In class we were given the term DISTINCT and told to analyse four film trailers based on it. We were also taught about hybrid genres which is where genres overlap. An example of this is romantic comedy films.

The trailers we had to analyse included:

• Oculus 
• The Guest
• The Vow
• Guardians Of The Galaxy

This is the Oculus trailer, instantly we notice this is a horror film as we can see this from the setting of the film which is in a dark house, the time is set at night which is normally to do with horror films.  The characters are also looking very scared.





This film trailer The Guest looks like a 'hybrid genre' as it combines action and thriller, the music creates a sense of action and thriller genre, the main character is portrayed as mysterious which makes us think it has thriller.




This film trailer is The vow which instantly makes me think it is a romantic film, the light which is used as sunshine makes us think of happiness and shows love felt between the two characters.




This film looks like a hybrid genre as it combines Sci Fi and Comedy, the props which are used are high tech gadgets which make it obvious that this is Sci Fi and the element of humour can suggest this is hybrid
