Understanding Gangster Films of Crime Genre and Three Different Ways of Genre Definitions

Описание: Let’s start looking at an individual genre in greater detail: the Crime genre.

To begin, in this video, I’m talking about the gangster film.

Here’s a question for you.

Why have I chosen the Crime Genre to look at first? What makes gangster films a great place to start in understanding genre analysis?

One thing we know for sure:

The ability to spot the gangster film and its patterns will create great pleasure in your
movie-watching life. Moreover, you’ll discover more terminology and definitions for understanding Crime genre and gangster movies.

This video also discusses the three different ways to think about genre and definition itself. We’ll look at the characteristic definition, functional definition, and the prototypical definition.

Make sure to watch this video to learn about all three forms of definition. They will be useful to us across the board when looking at any genre as we move forward in this course.

Thanks for watching and let me know how you are finding the Genre Framework series.
