Research And Planning: Genre

In this section of my blog I am going to research four Genres and discuss them. I am going to tell you a little more about the main features of the Genres and the types of films they are (using examples). The Genres I am going to research are; Action, Horror, Romance and Thriller.

Action
Where a series of Heros are faced with a number of challenges that they must overcome, usually protecting another character. They often include guns and weapons used by both the Hero and Villain in battle. Examples of Action films include; Die hard, Charlie's Angles.


Horror
Horrors are unsettling films that bring out peoples fears and force them to feel different emotions. Many Horror films include a lot of tension and build up to a murder or event. They often make the viewer jump or startled. Films include;  The Exorcist, Scream trilogy and Frankenstein.











Romance
Shows the romantic relationship on screen between two people who normally encounter problems along the way (long distant relationships) that they have to overcome. Romance films normally end happily and sometimes have an emotional effect on the audience. Films include; P.S I love you, Love Actually.













Thriller
Many thrillers have a mystery behind them and often have the audience trying to work out what's going to happen and who the villan is.  Thrillers are like action films accept they make us jump more, they are at the halfway point between horrors and action films. Films include; Flightplan, and When a stranger calls.
