Genre Question Preparation


Genre: Amelie, Pans Lanyrinth

Amelie – Romantic Comedy

-       Amelie uses the genre of romantic comedy to appeal worldwide to any audiences, it is a stereotype of the genre of romantic comedy that the film will follow the classic Hollywood narrative making it a presumption of any going to see it in other films that they will easily be able to follow the narrative as it is a convention of the genre
-       Uses a heterosexual relationship within the romance to make it acceptable worldwide



 Pans Labyrinth – Fantasy

-       Pans Labyrinth uses the fantasy genre as it is one that is accepted worldwide and can be viewed and understood by all audiences
-       Offers an opportunity for people to watch the film as a serious contextually strong piece of national cinema or as simply a fantasy from Ofelia’s point of view allowing it to be an international bestseller
-       The use of fantasy allows the messages of the film to be portrayed through the innocent eyes of a child, without the use of fantasy Ofelia would be facing up to real people rather than the monsters that she and we as the viewer sees
-       Allows us through the use of a fantasy genre to see how the war scars the children of Spain at the time
