Rags to Riches
The genre that i have chosen is Rags To Riches. Rags to Riches stories usually have happy endings, where a downtrodden character overcomes numerous obstacles and rises above his/her limitations. Common signifiers is where a man/woman starts of the story poor or with a bad situation and finishing higher up and more developed, however movies can subvert this expectation by having the character starting with everything and loosing it all and starting his/her way back up. A common signifier could contain foreshadowing of a evil company or entity that the character will have to prevent, or a poor character with no outlook in life that finds some light to a big life.
This genre can be mixed with many other genres as rag to riches is what happens to the character which can be told in many different ways eg a comedy and action. An action can involve revenge and and violence which allows him/her to get to the top. This can also be combined with fighting which can involve determination and revenge.
