Genre is incredibly important to the film industry in many ways. It helps to catogrise the film and also makes it easy to market when it has a particular genre, as you can market the film in a way that will appeal to your target audeince. Having a particular genre therefore means you can target a particular audience e.g if it is a violent and gory film its target audience will be over 18. It also helps with making and producing the film, for example the writer can follow particular conventions or plot lines from a genre so that the audience can easily idenitfy what genre of film they are watching. Along with conventional camera angles, editing, mis-en-scene and sound effects e.g in an action film when the action begins the pace gets faster, the shots become quicker and the music becomes louder, where as in a romance film the shots are normally quite close up, they linger around the couple and the music is normally soft and passionate.
