Task: Define hybrid genres and discuss DRAMA and THRILLER hybrids in detail.
A hybrid genre is a combination of two or more genres. Hybrids can have larger audiences due to appealing to more people through their multiple genres. This would be more lucrative for the film companies. Some people consider them more 'exciting' and creative.
“Genres are not static but evolve. Therefore, their common attributes change over time. Most films are hybrid genres, since they possess the common attributes of more than one genre.” Warren Buckland
Examples of genre hybrids:
- Horror romance (eg. Twilight, Night tide, The girl next door)
- Horror war (eg. Word war Z, Dead snow)
- Horror historical drama (eg. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies)
- Horror rom com (eg. Shaun of the Dead)
Differentiated Task Research further into Warren Buckland's theory of genre and write a short paragraph on this in this post.
