A genre hybrid is a mixture/fusion of genres. This allows both themes from either genre to be incorporated in the film.
For example
Drama + Action = Disaster
The hybrid would be drama, action and natural disaster. (e.g. Sweeney Todd)
My chosen genre 'drama' is a pure genre when it stands alone and I will aim to use it like this. This is quite unusual as most 'drama' films are genre hybrids (e.g. Forrest Gump - drama and romance).
I am basing my trailer on the sub-genre 'tragedy' so I will focus on themes involved in tragedy. Therefore I will not use genre hybrids.
