Genres
A way to categorize media products is by grouping them together via their shared characteristics. These characteristics in media are known as codes and conventions. Genre creates restrictions, but it also creates templates for media producers to follow.
Sub-Genres
Subgenre takes the categorization of media a step further. It goes beyond the generalization of genre. A few examples are sci-fi action, expeditions for lost continents, serialized films, space adventures.
Genre Conventions
Different elements that are commonly found in a particular genre. In other words, genre conventions are stereotypes expected to be found in a certain genre. An example of this is when an action movie has an epic and dramatic fight scene.
