Genre Steve Neale

Steve Neale states that genres all contain instances of repetition and difference, difference is essential to the to the economy of the genre if they hope to attract an audience. Each of these genres has a feature, also known as a convention, that is repeated in films that makes that genre unique and recognisable to the audience. However, film makers can add sub genres or a significant difference in the narrative to make it unique. He believes that films should conform to the required aspects of a genre, but a successful film wont stick the the classic regime.
