Genre Hybrids

A hybrid is when two elements are combined to create a mixture of the two. They can either be the mixture of two different genres or the mixture of sub genres within a genre.

For example, a romantic and a comedy film is called a rom-com which is a hybrid.

As well as this having a supernatural horror film which also has psychological elements makes it a hybrid.

For our film opening we could decide to do a genre hybrid. However, we are fully aware that this could complicate matters for the aim and atmosphere of our film opening which we will be trying to create. Therefore it may be simpler to stick to one genre/sub genre.
