Genre Part 1

Uses and Gratification Model

Diversion- allowing people to escape from their normal everyday lives.

Personal Relationships- using the media for emotional and other interaction.

Personal Identity- finding yourself reflected in texts, learning behaviour and values for texts e.g. for my music video people can relate to how the girl has broken up with the boy and slamming the door on the way out.

What Is Genre?
Genre basically means type or category.
*Hybrid Genre- a mixture of genres.

Repertoire of Elements
- Conventions of genre, these features often help the audience to recognise what they are viewing.
- Each genre has its own repertoire of elements including props, style, setting and narrative.
  ~ for my music video I took a lot of inspiration from the band Kings of Leon, from their indie/rock style of clothing and the settings they preformed one of their songs. In the song Sex on Fire it was preformed in an abandoned warehouse; where as ours was similar by being in an abandoned house.
