فیلم ژانر

Some screenwriters use genre as a means of determining what kind of plot or content to put into a screenplay. They may study films of specific genres to find examples. This is a way that some screenwriters are able to copy elements of successful movies and pass them off in a new screenplay. It is likely that such screenplays fall short in originality. As Truby says, "Writers know enough to write a genre script but they haven’t twisted the story beats of that genre in such a way that it gives an original face to it".

---------------------------------------------

Screenwriters often attempt to defy the elements found in past works, as originality and surprise are seen as elements that make for good film stories. For example, European-filmed spaghetti westerns changed the western film genre by eschewing many of the conventions of earlier Westerns.

Genre also can be distinguished from film style, which concerns the choices made about cinematography, editing, sound, plot structure, scenic design, lighting, cinematography, acting, and other intentional artistic components of the finished film product.
