Genre generators target certain conventions of a genre to give it audiences the genre they are looking for. This let the generator give the correct type of image, essay, or words to the person.
The first generator from SCIgen generates random computer science research papers. Some conventions this generator would look for are computer science related topics, heading, references, table of content, and graphs.
The second generator from pandyland generator random Comic strips. It conventions includes boxes, cartoon art styles, bubble text, comedy, and colorful. Not every comic strip has every conviction listed but it does contain most. For example one of the cartoons isn’t colorful but it has other the other convention.
Another example would be the cartoon strip without any bubble text. Instead, it shows the whole story with a colorful and emotional cartoon art, which let the reader understand the story without words.
The third generator shows random memes. Their memes share theses conventions, image, face with a reaction, humor, bold white text, and text top and bottom of the image. The generator does look for most of these conventions in a meme but not all. This can be seen from the image below. The image on the left shows the characters having clear expression while the left doesn’t. This show the generator look for most of the convention but not all.
The last genre generator that I found is a game idea generator. This generator generators random words/phrase for environment, goal, genre, rules, wildcard for the game. Each category has its own conventions to follow. In the environment section, the word must be a place. Goal section is a phrase with an objected. Genre section is an adjective that shows the type of the game. The rules section showing phase that gives the player a restriction. The last section wildcard is just any random thing.
Each generator has different conventions since each genre is unique. Because of this each generator show a different gene. Although not every convention are shown from the product of the generators, they contain most of them to make it fit the gene.
Thinking about the way these genre generators work help better understand a genre because it shows us what kind of convection make up a certain genre.
I really liked the way everything was visualized, it made it easier to know what you were looking at and describing. I liked the video game idea generator. I used one as well, but it was set up differently than this one and I like how the one you used outlined it and made it more specific. Good job!
ReplyDeleteGreat outline in my opinion, everything was easy to locate because of the way you broke down the different genres and conventions. The pictures also made it easier to refer to while reading.
ReplyDeleteI used your PB1B as a template for mine, which shows how much it helped me understand the concept of the writing. The fact that you compared the different conventions at the end of your writing helped me have a better understanding of what it is that you were comparing. This was a great way to help others understand the differences and similarities in rhetoric and composition among these different genre generators.

ReplyDeleteThis was very well written. Everything from the way it was structured and organized was good. I like how you used your choice of graphics to give the readers a visual of what exactly you were seeing. You included really good interpretation on the conventions for the generators that you used. Great job it was very informative.
ReplyDeleteHEY Kong, I like this blog a lot! The format was very well written I was into it. The pictures and the comments you made was very clear. The way you connected the different conventions really helped me understand. Keep up the good work KING KONG.
