Stephen Neale-Steve Neale states that genres all contain instances of repetition and difference, difference is essential to the to the economy of the genre. Neale states that the film and its genre is defined by two things: How much is conforms to its genre’s individual conventions and stereotypes.
Repertoire of elements-A repertoire is a group of generic elements. For example two films may share the same repertoire however they may be seen by different audiences as there is not one film that uses all elements. In this repertoire there are six areas that make up the repertoire of elements
Corpus-corpus is (body) in latin meaning its in a collection eg horror
Hybridisation-Hybridisation is a term used to describe a type of media convergence whereby a new mode emerges containing elements of combined media. Hybrid media represent most modern media and the concept that different media forms can work together to create new media. eg romcom
Historic specificity-meaning a person associated with the certain time period
Repetition and sameness-The word ‘repetition’ is understood to signify the act of repeating something (actions, words, objects) as well as the result of this act the repeated action, word, or object.
Variation and Change-a change or slight difference in condition, amount, or level, typically within certain limits.
Narrative image-Narrative is defined as a mental image, or cognitive construct, which can be activated by various types of signs. This image consists of a world (setting) populated by intelligent agents (characters). These agents participate in actions and happenings (events, plot), which cause global changes in the narrative world
Expectations and hypotheses-Expectations theory attempts to explain the term structure of interest rates. Expectations theories are predicated upon the idea that investors believe forward rates, as reflected (and some would say predicted) by future contracts are indicative of future short-term interest rates.
Suspension of Disbelief-In order to enjoy such stories, the audience engages in a phenomenon known as “suspension of disbelief”. so you no longer seat as a film but you have a connection with the characters (escapism or enjoyment). Suspension of disbelief only works to a point.eg cinema that takes you somewhere else
generic regime of verisimilitude-seeming like its real when its not idea of creating a reality the idea that the audience accept the reality of for example a dinner set in a film thinking its really a diner.
Genres of order and integration (Thomas Schatz)-only 2 genres one genre order other genre intergration
