Genres are specific combinations of codes being reused and reworked into lots of films.įor example, westerns normally follow the stories of drifters, cowboys, and outlaws struggling to survive in the desolate and cruel deserts of America’s “Wild West” in the 19 th century. Filmmakers are able to encode messages through the “interplay” of dialogue, gestures, costumes, sets, lighting techniques, camera shots and movement, non-diegetic sound, editing, and many other important elements. Steve Neale (1980) believed films were “signifying processes” full of “meanings and positions”.
