RESEARCH - Genre's & Sub-Genre's

Genres

The word Genre is french for 'type'.Genres are a great way to put different types of movies into categories .
For example they include  :
- Comedies
- Horrors
- Thrillers
- Romance
- Action
And more ...

For producers , Genres allow them to use a set of generic codes to make the film . Eg what sort of props to use , the type of location and certain actors . They can be reused from film to film and helps tell the producers where to invest money . For example Jim Carey is best known for playing roles in comedies so if a producer wanted to find an actor to star in a comedy , they would probably look into someone like Jim Carey.For marketing purposes , genres help target exact audiences and also helps know how to construct their adds and what sort of generic codes to use . As for audiences the genre would make a clear sense of expectation.

Sub-Genres

Sub-Genres are like classes of the larger category of the main film Genre with thier own style. Sub-Genres types conclude of
- chick flicks
- detective / mystery films
- disaster films
and more ....
