artistic production characterized by similarities
in composition and style, is a term used to
discuss literature, music, art, and film. It is
particularly useful in critical applications
because it distinguishes a work within a context
of similar works. In film, we are familiar with
certain broad genre categories such as horror,
science-fiction, romance, or drama.Understanding
genre helps provide the viewer with certain
expectations about the film. For instance, the
film The Conjuring trailer (Version 2) is of the
horror genre and thus can be discussed in context
with other horror films. More specifically, it is
of the sub-genre, supernatural horror, so it can
be discussed in context with, say, The Exorcist
trailer. Making this distinction enables the
audience to situate their reaction within a
particular framework.That framework is important
to our work here. In this discussion
