The second reading of lecture 6 is actually an introduction of a book, it has mentioned the word genre really often during the chapter, which is the type of art that maybe used in the movie. In my opinion, it is able to give viewer a first sight of the movie, and can give some idea of what the director wants to present. A genre or architecture can somehow represent the film, characters, etc. For example, as the chapter mentioned, people living in penthouse are often strange, therefore sometimes the personality can be shown through the architecture, which is a good way of helping viewers to change from outsiders to insiders and have better understanding of the film. The department can even help us to understand a city.
