Genre is an important factor of filmmaking because it helps to determine an identifiable type or classification of films that are recurring and have similar or instantly recognisable film conventions. These film genre groups include one or more of the following: settings, props, content and subject matter, themes, plot that are all similar, central narrative events, stock characters and recurring icons.
Genre is an important factor for audiences as it helps them to make comparisons to other films within the same genre that they have seen by using the film narratives and plots to compare and contrast. The viewers have expectations of certain genres and if they come true and are what they believe then they feel rewarded in the end.
Filmmakers are able to take influence and ideas from their other successes whilst acknowledging which genre suits their creative style the most and to work on the genre that they are more successful in. They are able to take ideas and themes from similar films within the same genre that they are working on to improve their current films and also to appeal to a niche audience with the narrative and conventions that the audience is looking for.
