Hybrid Genre
A hybrid genre is a variety of two or more genres combined into a one theoretically. Hybrid genres usually have a bigger fan base as the multiple genres draws in a bigger audience. An example of this may be the comedy genre. Comedy has a large audience and for this reason film producers would use comedy as the base of a film and build around it to expand the target market.
There are many comedy hybrid such as:
- Romantic comedies- I Give it a Year
- Action comedies- 21 Jump Street
- Sci-Fi comedies- Men in Black
- Comedy horror- Scary Movie
- Fantasy comedies- Shrek
- Military comedies- Forest Gump

Another way we can refer to hybrid genres would be cross media this is primarily down to the mixed genres for example comedy horror would consist of both a humorous scenes as well as the expected horror content. Due to the use of multiple genre this would immediately broaden the size of the audience.
