Document Summary
Genre: types of film recognized by audiences and/or producers, sometimes retrospectively. These types are distinguished by narrative or stylistic conventions, or merely by their discursive organization in influential criticism. Genres are made necessary by high volume industrial production, for example in the main stream cinema of the usa and japan. Scene/sequence: a scene is a segment of a narrative film that usually takes place in a single time and place, often with the same characters. Sometimes a single scene may contain two lines of action, occurring in different paces or even different times, that are related by means of crosscutting. Scene and sequence can usually be used interchangeably, though the latter term can also refer to a longer segment of film that odes not obey the spatial and temporal unities of a single scene. For example, a montage sequence that shows in a few shots in a process that occurs over a period of time.
