"Chicken and the egg" dilemma
Commonly recognised formar elements and common features of specific genre need to be identified.
I believe that the word genre is ineffective with films as there not specific enough with films of today because they are to different. Genre of todays films need to be changed so that when you pick up a film you have a brief idea of what its about. An example of this is epic movie and superbad, they are both comedys however one of them is silly and imature where as the other is more adult comedy.

Genre

Camera: close up is used to show his facial expression. He is in a very angry or phychotic rage. His mouth and eyes are wide open.
Character: John is the only character in this shot because we are supposed to focus on his facial expression.
Genre: we can tell this is a horror because of his fearfulness and the crazy bloodlust in his eyes.
