Genre in Stop Animation:

You can divide stop motion animation into genre by technique,

the genres found are clay-mation, stop motion, using objects,
dolls and figures. The contexts for using these animations can
be for entertainment in film such as Coraline or Kubo and
the two strings, as well as television with Wallace and
Gromit. Other contexts include animation for adverts to
convey a message or to advertise a company or channel such
as channel 4 intros or E4 introductions. Animation is used
instead of shooting live action examples because it can be
cheaper, depending on your idea and you have more freedom
in what you can do with your subjects and storylines as well as
the fact that your animation style can stand out and draw more
of an audience.
