I need a better understanding of genre, tone, and consistency...

OpenStudy (carlsmith):

What are you struggling to understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just don't really understand the definition of it I guess. I probably need like an example to help me understand these words.

OpenStudy (carlsmith):

Ah, ok, no problem. Genre means what style something is, so films have genres, like romance, comedy, horror and so on. Music genres include Hip Hop, Classical etc. It's a way of classifying creative works.

OpenStudy (carlsmith):

Tone is more to do with the atmosphere and attitude of a piece. So the tone could be serious, professional, casual, affectionate and so on. Consistency just means keeping things the same throughout, not getting half way through a book or play or something, then changing the way you do punctuation or the style of narration, that type of thing.

OpenStudy (carlsmith):
