Genre of my film

* Genre means 'type' or 'kind' in french
* Genre can be referred to in many different forms, such as literature, film or theater 
* We can identify and understand our genre through it's key themes and concerns or the narrative
* Genre functions like a language like a language - a set of rules that are organised for meaning
* Genre works between industry and audience

My genre is Drama,
It is a drama as it follows a persons life and the drama that evolves and changes over time.  In drama films you typically think that something is going to happen and there will be a twist to shock the audience at one point in the film. my film follows this as it is revealed to the audience that the boy has Leukemia and they are shocked with the problems that he faces. Although their is romance in my film it is not a key feature as it is not the focus of the film and only contributes a small part to my film.

After looking at the genre of drama i have seen that their are lots of different parts to drama, my film conforms to Melodrama, as it is focused around a boy with a particular illness and "heightens the emotion of the audience."
