Genre comes from French, and it means "kind/type", it was also used to describe types of books, but it became vital in differentiating types of films. It influences the production, distribution, and consumption of a film. Genres help determine the type of products that will be needed to fit the genre, the actors who can portray the characters, and the writers who can effectively follow character stereotypes within that genre. The distributors use genres to determine whether or not a film will do well at the box office, based on how previous films did within that genre. Most people have a preferred genre, which makes it easier for studios to gauge which films will do well. Overall, genres can help studios save time and money, it can help distributors choose marketable films for an audience, and for the audience, it helps them make decisions on what film to watch/
