The audience may know what to expect, but are we still excited by genre texts?

Introduction:
Audience want their expectations to be fufilled
Same conventions used within Slasher movies fore example, however stereotypes subverted etc to represent the changing zeitgeist.
Excites the audience, as the movies reflect change, e.g the liberation of women, the emasculation of the male etc.
Also new element used alongiside the conventional elements of movies, for example post modernism which mocks the text, the audience know what to expect but it is made more lively, and effective as the directors incorporate humour into the texts.
Same conventions, yet audience are excited by different characters, who they can find new ways to relate to

Paragraph One:
Texas Chainsaw Massacre- final girl survives, represent the changing zeitgeist, as females have become more powerful. This excites the audience as they are presented with a new main character, a strong, successful female; who outwits the male monster.

Paragraph Two:
Scream: Girl survives after having sex, represents societys changing attitude towards sex, it has become more acceptable. This initially shocks the audience as the primiscous female conventionally dies within the first few minutes of the film. Therefore scream represents contemporary acceptance of the 'whore.'

Paragraph Three:
Scary Movie: Postmodernism and intertextuality used within the film, it mocks the conventions of a slasher film genre. The audience know what is exactly going to happen, as Scary Movie, uses different parts of various slahsher films, however mocks the narrative of the story. The scream mask is just one of the conventions parodied within the text, it features the murder sniggering behind the sofa, while the typical blonde bimbo, repeatidly ask on the phone so where are u? The audience are entertained through this postmodernism as it creates a different approach towards the slaher film genre, and replaces fear, with laughter.. either way it makes the audience feel an EXTREME emotion.
