In Metz book Language And Cinema he explored development of genre film, and suggested genres pass through four phases:
1. Experimental- The phase in which films experimented and were creative with genres.
2.The Classic- The phase in which a genre has developed conventions, often the most successful period.
3.The Parody- These films usually mock the genre, exaggerating its conventions for humour.
4. The Deconstruction-The is a film which copies conventions of different genres, creating a new sub-genre. Se7en is an example of this becaue it is a detective thriller.
