Film-Sub Genre:
Here is a selection of Film-Sub Genres, again I wrote a bit about each one of them and then I left a few suggestions as to which films belong with it's chosen Genre.
Romance:This is the genre where everything revolves around love which is between two protagonists. This type of film usually has the power to explore the the issues within love, which can include but not limiting to: love at first sight, forbidden love, and even love triangles with sacrificial love. Romance films evoke the emotions within the captivated audience.
Some Romance films are: Titanic, The Notebook, One Day and Ghost. Supernatural:Supernatural films, can combine with comedies, sci-fi, fantasy or horror. This genre can contain many themes such as: gods or goddesses, ghosts, apparitions and spirits or miracles. However, most supernatural films up until recently were usually presented in a comical, whimsical or romantic fashion.
Some Supernatural films are: The Exorcist, The Rite, The Shining, and The Others. Fantasy:Fantasy films are usually a sub-genre, these are most likely to overlap horror and science fiction. Fantasies take the audience on a journey where events here are unlikely to happen in the real world. They often have a hint of magic, myth, wonder and also the extraordinary. They can appeal to both children and adults alike and can also depend on that particular film.
Some Fantasy films are: The Amazing Spiderman, Harry Potter (1-8), Beetlejuice and The Addams Family. |
Chick-Flicks:Chick Flicks are often considered to be an "all
-encompassing" sub genre, 'chick' flicks are also gal films. These mostly consist of formulated romantic comedies, and tearjerkers. These films are based from a woman's point of view and the star is a female heroine or protagonist. This type of film genre came around in the mid 80's and then into 90's. Some Chick-Flick films are: Mean Girls, Juno, 10 Things I hate about you and Clueless. Thriller/Suspense:Thrillers are often hybrids with other set genres - there can be action thrillers, crime-caper thrillers and there can even be western-thrillers. Thriller and suspense films are virtually synonymous and are interchangeable categorizations. These are usually the types of films that will promote intense excitement, and suspense.
Some Thriller / Suspense films are: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, M, Duel and Misery. Animation:Animated films are a collection of illustrations that are photographed frame by frame and then it is played in quick succession. Since its inception, animation has had a creative and an imaginative tendency to do well. Being able to bring animals and objects to life, this genre was been catered towards fairy tales and children's stories. However, animations have now been able to be enjoyed by both parties, adults and children.
Some Animation films are: Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Sleeping Beauty and The Lion King. |
