How do genres adapt to changing social, economical and political contexts?

Intro- Introducing the slasher genre, maybe a few general conventions of the slasher genre and talk a little bit about the current SHEP aspects affecting the media.

p1- Talk about the SHEP aspects in more depth and discuss what effect the social contexts would have on the genre, for example the women in society have been making an uprise for a number of years and it shows in slasher movies with 'the final girl'.

p2- Moving on to the economical contexts of todays world and discussing what the 'credit crunch' will do for the media (change the budgets and resources) for example, some current movies may use previous resources and technology because budgets are low.

p3- Moving onto how the political contexts would affect the genre of slasher movies, however it is more difficult to affect the genre with politics because of the genre doesn't target politicians.

p4- Perhaps talk about historical with previous slasher movies having an effect on current institutions.

Conclusion- The genre of the slasher movie has changed in relation to these contexts because of the economic effect (the money), the social because of audience generic expectations, so therefore the institution has to change their movies to adapt to current situations.
