What Is Genre?

 Today we learned about Genre, here is my summary of it

Genre: A genre is a group or category of different media texts, these genres can also have sub genres or hybrid genres also exist.

Genre convention: Things that are frequently used or tied to a genre, like ghosts are tied to horror movies, guns in action, and so on.

The game I will be talking about is Red Dead Redemption II.

   - Red Dead Redemption II is mainly a Western themed game and has other aspects such as being a Shooter Game, Action-adventure, and also heavily story-based, with it possibly being one of its best aspect. The game definitely conforms to the typical conventions of Western themed media texts, such as cowboys, sherrifs, small towns, saloons, bandits, bounties, and those typical things. 

   - I think its for a mature audience like teenagers all the way to full grown adults, this is mostly due to the fact that the story was very dialogue based and heavy, which younger audiences may find pretty boring, there's also some violence in it, a bunch of it, a lot of it, so I think it's not really for the younger people.
