Types of Film Genres!!
Here are some types of movie
genres:
ACTION
An action story is
similar to adventure, and the protagonist usually takes a risky
turn, which leads to desperate situations. Action and Adventure are
usually categorized together because they have much in common, and many stories
fall under both genres simultaneously
ADVENTURE
An adventure story is
about a protagonist who journeys to epic or distant places to
accomplish something. It can have many other genre elements included within it,
because it is a very open genre. The protagonist has a mission and faces
obstacles to get to their destination. Also, adventure stories usually include
unknown settings and characters with prized properties or features.
COMEDY
Comedies
are light-hearted plots consistently and deliberately designed to amuse and
provoke laughter,y exaggerating the situation, the language, action,
relationships and characters. This section describes various forms of comedy
through cinematic history
CRIME
Crime films
are developed around the sinister actions of criminals, particularly
bankrobbers, underworld figures, or ruthless hoodlums who operate outside the
law, stealing and murdering their way through life. The criminals or gangsters
are often counteracted by a detective-protagonist with a who-dun-it plot.
DRAMA
Dramas are
serious, plot-driven presentations, portraying realistic characters, settings,
life situations, and stories involving intense character development and
interaction. Usually, they are not focused on special-effects, comedy, or
action, Dramatic films are probably the largest film genre, with many subsets.
FANTASY
Fantasy
films, usually considered a sub-genre, are most likely to overlap with the
film genres of science fiction and horror, although they are
distinct. Fantasies take the audience to dark netherworld places (or another
dimension) with mythical creatures, where events are unlikely to occur in real
life - they transcend the bounds of human possibility and physical laws. They
sometimes take the form of fairy tales that often have elements of
magic, myth, wonder, folklore and the extraordinary.
HORROR
Horror
films are designed to frighten and to invoke our hidden worst fears, often in a
terrifying, shocking finale, while captivating and entertaining us at the same
time in a cathartic experience. Horror films feature a wide range of styles,
from the earliest silent Nosferatu classic, to today's CGI monsters and
deranged humans. They are often combined with science fiction when
the menace or monster is related to a corruption of technology, or when Earth
is threatened by aliens.
ROMANCE
A sub-genre for
the most part, this category shares some features with romantic dramas,
romantic comedies. These are love stories, or affairs of the heart
that center on passion, emotion, and the romantic, affectionate involvement of
the main characters (usually a leading man and lady), and the journey that
their love takes through courtship or marriage. Romance films make the love
story the main plot focus.
