Film Genres

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.
