An overview of different Genres
Genre is a French word meaning “type” or “style”. Genre is a way a film can be put into categories using how the movie is styled with the plot. A genre is like a recipe, certain things will happen in certain genres. In different movies the way genre is portrayed is different. In a love film there may be love and romantic scenes while in a horror film there may be murder and death. These telling scenes within genres are called genre identifiers.

In movies the genre identifies are done differently. Colours such as grey and blue will be used in sad films while bright colours to portray happiness. Music is used with sport movies doing rock hardcore music and family movies have jingles and happiness. Camera angles may be used differently as in a horror movie the camera angles may be from above symbolising dominance.

Story Structure
11. Review the following website http://www.abc.net.au/rollercoaster/rollermache/storytelling.htm and provide an overview of the 3 components of a story. That is, the Beginning, Middle and End.
The beginning is somewhat of an introduction to get to know the characters and possibly a pre exisitng problem.
The middle is where the action happens and what happens in the story.
The end is mainly the conclusion and what has happened for the good.
2. Time to come up with 3 ideas for your podcast. Using the Beginning, Middle and End components that you just learnt about, provide a brief overview of each story idea that you have come up with.... so in summary, you should add three story outlines to your blog...
