Genre Theory - Case Study

1. "Genre is a barrier to creative and a straight-jacket to prevent experimentation"

2. "Genre is an endlessly flexible tool for artists to connect with the audience most likely to enjoy their work"

Imagine a world without genre, where every film is considered from scratch with no preconceptions; which side are you on?

I think Genre is an endlessly flexible tool because it gives the artists the opportunity to either stick to it and produce something creative within a strict structure or it gives them the opportunity to break the format and make something entirely original by using sub genres or genre hybrids.
