Genre is a category in which a movie is placed to define it's contents, for example a horror movie is placed as a horror movie because it's scary. This is important because it can give film producers a certain audience to attract, and it can give an idea for what a movie has in store for audiences. Examples of genres include: horror, comedy, action, and sci-fi. To compliment genres, subgenres are sort of like genres within genres, for example a horror movie can be in space so it's now a sci-fi horror film. My personal favorite genre is comedy, it's funny and when I watch most movies I don't want to feel sad or be hit with a massive dose of reality, most of the time I just want to sit back and enjoy a nice funny movie.
This assignment was done to show what genre and subgenre is and my partner and I(my partner did little to no work he just sat there)chose sports boxing because the movie I'm building for Media Studies will be a movie involving boxing. Sports genre is a movie involving athletic activities and boxing movies are movies involving the sport of boxing.

Reflection:
In this assignment I uses a bubble diagram poster to show an example of genre and subgenre. All I did was draw a boxing glove and added some bubbles with connotations because the genre I used inside of them. To complete this I used a computer and phone to get an idea of what to do in this assignment and I'd have to say I am an expert and I know exactly what I'm doing. I learned what the sports/boxing genre means and how to identify genres in movies.
