Yes because there are always going to be films classed into each genre. This links to Robert Stam's theory of persona acting because we are used to the same actors playing their certain characters to fit the chosen genre. We can still label films because we can tell straight away from seeing a film what the storyline will be and what characters there will be, etc. Writers are only writing films that fit into certain genres because that is what audiences want, no one creates films that cant be labeled because they wouldn't sell.
2. Why do you think hybrid genres are developing so much?
Hybrid genres are become extremely popular in cinema because directors are constantly trying to redefine cinema and try to keep modern audiences pleased and hooked on the film. they use multiple genres to appeal to a widespread audience to bring in more money and views.
3. Choose one of your products and determine how it does/ doesn't conform to a genre.
The genre of this film is thriller but it has a sub genre of psychological thriller and this is shown through the setting of the film, the characters and props for example Adam's character is the protagonist and he is male and in danger of being attacked. The film challenges the Janet Stieger's "id ealist method" because the protagonist in the antagonist, you would normally expect there to be a clear good guy and bad guy in a thriller. This conforms to Robert Stam's theory of persona actors, the kind of actor that we would have got for Adam's part would've been someone like Matt Damon, the generic thriller hero.
