Genres can be combined to create a variation in genres. A romance can be
crossed with a comedy to become a romantic comedy, like You’ve Got Mail.
A comedy crossed with a crime genre gives you Who Framed Roger Rabbit
(combining animation techniques). Minority Report, which crosses multiple
genre categories, is a science-fiction/suspense/thriller/crime drama.
The time period of your story is not a genre but a setting that can fit with virtually
any genre. A period piece is a story set in the days of yesterday (a story
set in the future is considered fantasy or science fiction). Road to Perdition, for
example, is film noir but also a period piece. The Green Mile (in the fantasy,
horror, and suspense genres) is a period piece, too, as is Catch Me If You Can.
Unless you’re doing a studio-financed picture with a healthy budget, avoid
period pieces, period. They require special art direction, wardrobe, and props
dealing with that specific time period.
John Truby, a prominent screenwriting consultant, developed a unique writers’
software called Truby’s Blockbuster. You can also purchase additional
software packages for Blockbuster that guide you through specific tips and
examples that help make up each separate genre (www.truby.com).
