A genre is a style or category of art, music, or literature.
In this case we will be looking at different types of film genres. The most common film genre in our modern day are:
Action - This type of genre is usually involves high energy, heart racing stunts & daring rescues.
Adventure - These types of films usually have exciting stories such as the main character has to go on an expidition or go in search of a lost continent.
Comedy - Comedies are usually light hearted story lines, designed to continuously cause the viewer to laugh or be amused.(slapstick, screwball, spoofs and parodies, romantic comedies, black comedy (dark satirical comedy)
Crime and gangster - these types of films usually include at least one big scene of violence and some are true life stories of how some people came from a struggling background and how they made it big. Includes - sinister actions of criminals or mobsters, particularly bankrobbers, underworld figures, or ruthless hoodlums who operate outside the law, stealing and murdering their way through life.
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.
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 sci-fi.
Sci-Fi - These films are often quasi-scientific, visionary and imaginative - complete with heroes, aliens, distant planets, impossible quests, improbable settings, fantastic places, great dark and shadowy villains, futuristic technology, unknown and unknowable forces, and extraordinary monsters ('things or creatures from space'), either created by mad scientists or by nuclear havoc.
Genres are popular to people beacuse people can choose which one they like and many genres now are infulenced by reality or on going cases and examples in the real world and with this it means everyday people can relate to certain films.
Film studios favour to do genres i think because this is what draws people attention and provokes them to go cinemas which then creates income and an easy way of gaining wealth for them.
