摘要	Genre Analysis in Film is a method for systematically examining how films belong to and innovate within recognizable categories—horror, Western, science fiction, melodrama, comedy—each with characteristic conventions, visual styles, narrative structures, and ideological concerns. Developed through film studies by scholars like Rick Altman and Steve Neale, the method recognizes that film genres are not fixed natural categories but socially constructed, historically contingent systems that structure both film production and audience expectations. Genre analysis examines what conventions define a genre, how individual films conform to or challenge those conventions, how genres evolve over time, and what ideological work generic conventions perform.	Film Narrative Analysis is a qualitative method for examining how stories are told through cinematic techniques and structures. Developed from literary narratology and adapted for film studies by scholars like David Bordwell and Mieke Bal, it deconstructs the relationship between story (fabula), plot (sjuzhet), and narration to understand how meaning is created. This method is fundamental to film criticism and provides a systematic framework for analyzing how viewers construct narrative coherence from visual and audio elements.
