What is meant by the term 'genre'?
The term genre is used for the classification of media texts into groups with similar characteristics. Genre is the term for any category of literature, as well as various other forms of art or culture e.g. films, based on a set of stylistic criteria. Genres are formed by conventions that change over time as new genres are invented and the use of old ones are discontinued. Often, works fit into multiple genres by way of borrowing and recombining these conventions.
Narrative
Narrative is defined as 'a chain of events in a cause-effect relationship occuring in time'. A narrative is a made up story that is created in a constructive format that describes a sequence of fictional or non-fictional events.
