GENRE GENRE ON THE WALL

SATURDAY SCHOOL - FULL DAY WORKSHOP

Genre, genre on the wall, who is the fairest one of all? Great stories come in all shapes and sizes. When we say Genre in film and television we mean a category of stories that share similar stylistic, tonal, thematic and narrative characteristics. When developing your story, you will need to decide what genre or combination of genres best suits the execution of your story. Genres are also useful when pitching and selling your story to potential investors and distributors. Genres are as plentiful as there are stories. This workshop unpacks the structure, story rules and aesthetics of some of most popular genres in film and tv: action, comedy, rom com, thriller, horror, science fiction, fantasy, western, crime, melodrama and heist.  

Led by renowned Head Writer, Showunner and Executive Producer, Busisiwe Ntintili.
