With genre there is constant renegotiation between the industry, audience and genre. this is shown through with Steve Neale's Tripartite system:
genre is one way of working through important myths and fears of the audience and this is done by repetition, variation and resolution. It is used to create a reassuring feeling for the audience, and to forget the problems of the real world, for example- threat is usually quashed in a films, gangs are punished and outlaws become civilized. The use of genre helps 'tidy up' the world and just lets one escape problems just for a few hours
genre works like a language because it has different rules and vocab to follow, which brings everything in media together.
