Narrative.
A plot is a sequence of events that happen in the story, whereas a Narrative is the way a story is told and a Narrative Context is the environment that the story is told in. Restrictive Narrative is where we only know the same, about what is going on, as the character and an Unrestrictive Narrative is where we know more than the character does, like outside the scene information.
Genre.
Genre is there so we can categorize a film, mainly for audience purposes if they want a certain type of film genre and look up 'drama' or 'action' then your film could be listed. Genre is also a formula which is a story line that is expected (typical story) and varies but usually stays the same for that certain type of genre. For example a typical romance would be girl and boy meet, fall in love, have an argument or parents disapprove (some sort of problem), they solve it and end up together with a happily ever after. This formula may change by killing off one of the characters at the end but they remain in love, it gives it an edge to it. A Hybrid Genre is a film with more than one genre, so it becomes a mixed genre (Hybrid Genre). The thing that makes the films different types is the plot/story/narrative.
