The lesson tomorrow (16.04.07) will focus on genre in relation to institutions, texts and audiences. In advance you must consider the following:
1. How can texts be identified as being part of a genre, what elements help to identify it in this way: thematic, iconographic, representational?
2. Why do institutions produce films at certain moments in time and what do those texts say about the culture they are produced in and its values?
3. How do audiences relate to those genres now in comparison to the ways in which previous audiences have responded in the past?
The theorists we will be studying are Andre Bazin, Robert Warshow and Lawrence Alloway.
