RESEARCH- Genres and Sub-genres

Genre
The genre of a film is the type of film. An example of some different genre's are:


  • Thriller
  • Action
  • Comedy
  • Horror
  • Science-fiction
  • Etc...
Genres allow producers and audiences to distinguish what kind of film it is. For producers, it makes it easier for them to sort out the props, location and actors. For example, if they were to hire an actor like Christian Bale, they would know that he's more suited to thriller films then Rom-Coms. 

Sub-genre
A sub-genre is a way in which a type of genre, such as thriller has other different type of genres within that thriller, for example thriller films have: 

  • Conspiracy thrillers
  • Mystery thrillers
  • Crime thrillers
  • Drama thrillers
  • Psychological thrillers
  • Religious thrillers
  • Horror thrillers
  • Supernatural thrillers
