Buscombe’s theory states that one genre is different from another because of the icons we associate with that genre, the physical objects or the symbols we can see on the screen.
There are four elements which helps us identify and understand the genre, Location, Appearance, Tools and Miscellaneous.
- Horror: dark, spooky music, trees with no leaves, weapons (knifes/guns)
- Crime Drama: dead body, weapon, suspenseful music, science lab
- Science-Fiction: futuristic gadgets, space, aliens, tight lycra suits
- Romance: red and white, flowers, soft music, warm fires, chocolates
- Comedy: group of lads, road trip, good friendships
