How Do Movie Producers Identify the Genre Shifting Trend?

Fu, Xinri, Yao, Xiaoyue January 2010 (has links)
Genre is a very important characteristic for movies and generates utility for the audience, therefore, it is very useful for producers and investors to study the correlation between annual genre performance and consumer preference of the audience. How are genre elements reflecting the audience’s taste every year? Does it change over time and does this change have a pattern? With Lancaster’s characteristic consumption theory as an approach, we explored the balance and shifting trends of the popularity of genre elements, thus providing guidance and predictions for the producers and investors for decision making reference. A study based on 15 years of movie performance in box offices and award ceremonies indicates that consumer’s preference on genre elements follow certain patterns and could be predicted. The importance of genre elements deserves more attention from decision makers, and perhaps a special unit on genre studies should be established  economy-wised to much more deeply exploit their value.

Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-25T20:20:14Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Carlos Pereira Goncalves.pdf: 4016141 bytes, checksum: c5c44d3d41c3eaa8054787b8b1f61daf (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-06-01 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This research has analyzed the social and cultural significance that the road movie narrative genre acquired in the Post-Embrafilme national production (between 1990 and 2000). The core of the research is composed of 11 (eleven) fiction motion pictures produced within this period, among them Central do Brasil, O Caminho das Nuvens, Cinema, aspirina e urubus. The paper has emphasized the understanding on the concept of contemporary culture, its articulations with the symbolic and social imaginary mythology, cultural identity and allegories, assimilated and expressed by the narrative, considering the perspective of the understanding of the historic dimension of the social environment in which this cinema is produced. As to its structuring, the thesis utilizes a theoretical approach of social sciences and, according to concepts, analysis and interpretations that it aims to achieve, it also relies on the areas pertaining to social communication, cinema, literature and music, thus attempting an interdisciplinary approach of study. The central core of the theoretical work is presented in two main streams: Latin American and English Cultural Studies and the Complexity Theory. The results of the research have confirmed the stylistic configuration of the national road movie genre despite its numerical inferiority which was also verified in exploratory research in film production worldwide. The narrative genre which was studied possesses historic mediation with the so called hypermodernity in which the road figure is one of the key elements of symbolic significance: and these are articulate in values, speeches and images with social mobility, individuality, fragmentation and reordering of time and space. A characteristic ontological approach, as well as a remarkable social criticism, was identified in the films studied. The analysis also asserts the relevance of the theme of cultural identity in the era of economic and culture globalization / Esta pesquisa analisou a significação social e cultural que o gênero narrativo road movie (filme de estrada) adquire na produção nacional Pós-Embrafilme (décadas de 1990-2000). O corpus da pesquisa compõe-se de 11 (onze) longas-metragens de ficção realizados nesse período, entre eles Central do Brasil, O caminho das nuvens, Cinema, aspirinas e urubus. O trabalho enfatizou a compreensão da noção de cultura contemporânea, suas articulações com o imaginário social e simbólico - mitologia, identidade cultural e alegorias, assimilado e expresso pela narrativa, com a perspectiva do entendimento da dimensão histórica do espaço social no qual esse cinema é produzido. A tese utiliza-se, em sua estruturação, de uma abordagem teórica das ciências sociais e, conforme conceitos, análises e interpretações que se propõe a realizar, apoia-se também nas áreas de conhecimento da comunicação social, cinema, literatura e música, buscando, assim, uma metodologia interdisciplinar de estudo. O eixo teórico central do trabalho articula-se por meio de duas correntes: os Estudos Culturais Ingleses e Latino- Americanos e a Teoria da Complexidade. Os resultados da pesquisa confirmam a configuração estilística do gênero cinematográfico road movie na filmografia nacional, a despeito da sua condição numericamente pouco representativa, semelhante à verificada, em pesquisa exploratória, na produção mundial. O gênero narrativo estudado possui mediação histórica com a chamada hipermodernidade, na qual a figura estrada é um dos seus elementos-chave de significação simbólica; estes, articulados em valores, discursos e imagens como mobilidade social, individualidade, fragmentação e reordenação do tempo e espaço. Identificou-se uma característica abordagem ontológica nos filmes pesquisados, bem como uma marcante criticidade social. As análises também afirmam a pertinência da temática da identidade cultural em plena era de globalização econômica e mundialização da cultura
