Introduction: Throughout this blog post I am going to write about the cycle of genres, some mainstream some indie.
Cycle of Genres: A film genre is a structure of a story that is repeated again and again. normally having the same setting, characters, storyline, conflicts and values. Covering themes, mood and formats. Genres such as westerns, romcoms, action and musicals. As Hollywood had previous success with genres such as these they keep repeating them as the know its guaranteed money and enjoyment from the audience, as new talent is continuously regenerating the audience quickly adapts to them and because they are new the audience will think that it is a completely different film in the sense that there is a new face starring.

Some film genres never really trend for a long period of time, one moment westerns are huge then slowly dies down when new genres are trending then all of sudden they are back, this is usually to stop the audience getting bored and make them think they are watching they have never seen before.
Conclusion: Researching this has made me realise that my personal opening seqeunce is very indie and unseen before, not mainstream unlike hollywood films all due to the genre.
