Genre Stages
1st stage - the primitive, the formative stage in which the genres characteristics are first established.2nd stage - the classical, the genre is at its peak, with generic qualities refined.
3rd stage - the revisionist, which scrutinizes and revaluates, often in a critical way, the conventions that typify the genre.
4th stage - the parodic, in which the genre is satirized in a consciously self-reflexive, tongue-in-cheek manner.
Pastiche - a 'loving', respectful homage to previous conventions. Trantion's films are often viewed as pastiches of multiple genres.
Parody - a 'humorous' subversion of genre expectations. Audiences enjoy seeing conventions subverted.
