Here i has shown some media theorist's ideas and theory's about genre classification, Many of whom suggest that genre is subject to historical concept and change.
John Fiske.
Any one program will bear the main characteristics of its genre, but is likely to include some from other. Ascribing it to one genre or another involves deciding which set of characteristics are most important. For example, The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy is primarily classed as fantasy, however, it contains aspects of a thriller, comedy and action films.
Richard Maltby & Ian Craven.
Between them, they decided that the success of Hollywood is reliant on the combination of its predictable elements with little variation between them. For example, a typical Hollywood film would be, boy meets girl, they both encounter a problem, they over come this and and a better off for it.
Auteurs & Iconography.
A group of film makers that where considered to be particularly influential and artist.
Quentin Tarintino is a prime example of this. His films include similar concepts such as, not being shown in chronological order and having certain characters making the square out of thin air and it being drawn on screen.
Edward Buscombe felt that iconography was the best way to achieve genre definitions.
Rick Altman.
He was the black sheep and disagreed with all of these theory's, he felt that genre theory presumes that the audience pre read texts. He thought that ,
-Viewers become passive Voyeurs,
-Genres are therefore restrictive,
-He does not acknowledge or allow for the hybrid genre. A hybrid is a combination of two genres such as "Rom-Com".
