Hollywood Life.) This message is delivered through its syntax, tone, and diction.

This can happen to any of us. The initial excitement calms down and we admit to ourselves that failure is a possibility, so we slide back to less challenging pursuits and more routine activities.

Genre theory is used to study films and put them into a classification so that audiences know what type of film it is before they see it. Genres are categories based on the story of the film, sometimes the actors and actresses, or even the directors. All films fall under a genre or sub-genre category. Romantic Comedy is an example of a genre which is light-hearted, humorous story involving people in love, sometimes overlapping with subgenres such as screwball comedy teen comedy, or gross-out comedy.
