Genre:
in the sequence of 'lemony snickets a series of unfortunate events '
there is a hybrid genre as like many other children s films but this one has as different feel to it and does not follow the conventional setup as a children s film. there are five different genres is this sequence, adventure, horror, family, fantasy, comedy.
Adventure: it has an adventure genre because the children start looking around the house and find out different clues which gives the feeling that there will be an adventure.
Horror: there is slight horror feel to the seqeunce, it starts of as the conventional childrens film with the bright colour the high pitched music and the little elvs. it then changes completely and there is a complete contrast between the two. the colour is very dark so it gives a horror feel, also the actual setting when it changes because they are in a dark misty graveyard. also how the narrator talks as well gives a very negative feel to it because he describes it as a very dark and scary story.
family: there a family aspect to it because in the family there are all diferent age groups which can relate to all the people within a family.
fantasy: there is a fantasy feel to the sequence as well because of the strange powers that they have, no conventional children would have those powers especially the babies powers. also the strange creature in the pond when he pokes it looks quite strange.
finally there is a slight sense of comedic value to the seqeunce as well because of the young child hanging off the table by her teeth.
