All about movie genres
Hello and welcome today I'll give u another way to seeing movie genres. But why we need to know this let's imagine u wanna watch a movie on Saturday night which one will u choose it totally depends on your mood right? So this will help u more to understand about name or title of movies first things first what movie genres are nothing but the category of movies. So let's move further by defining elements of genres atmosphere, character, story.
Atmosphere: it means a location where the movie is going to film or location on which the movie is based. For example, war movies war films take place in remote war-prone areas. But Many of u can ask we seen war movies in city areas too ok try to see the location they make the city they shift local people to some another place and then the movie will go ok means they do the same thing they creating war a place to fight. Another is horror movies it takes place in an isolated area like in outside city house normal but we had seen horror movies that take place in cities but in that they show the isolation of that place too like an old church in the middle of the city
The second element is the character
Character: in movie genre, if u have observed the character have their goal in horror movies good character fight for their survival in war movies has soldier fighting for survival too but the difference is to fight for Honor for the country. Now u can ask what about bad character do they have goals of course they have but it depends on hero's goals on whom our story is about no we make a story on bases of hero's character and goals and to support that goal we make other characters too and their little goals too
Story: it is based on expectations if a person made sin he/she will suffer in future. Or in superhero movie hero will fight for people. It's totally our expectations that make movies go on
So we discussed elements of movie genres. It's a common thing u will see in all type of movies. Well let's come back to genres topic whatever we learned about genres element we will use in each genre OK
There are 11 genres ofc u can say it is more.
But lets for sake of understanding let's take 11 of if and I'll tell u why 11 later
So here we go
action
crime,
fantasy,
horror,
life,
romance,
sci-fi,
sports,
thriller,
war,
Western
We can further divide these genres but mainly we have 11 of the others is a creative way of presenting this. How? Good question answer u will get as we move further.OK, this main genres can be modified by voice, pathway, macro and micro-genres. Umm I'm it sounds complicated but let me explain you
Voice: it means by with way our movie is going to present will it be an animation or musical? Or will it be a black and white, or silent movie? How much violence, sex, drama etc it will contain
Pathway: it's a way by which we enter in the story, for example, a buddy story, road, ocean, twin child, etc now we can get creative like what about a romantic road love story or space crime etc
Macro and micro-genres
Macro genres this category explains atmosphere, character and story of genres defines more details in the movie. For example, let's take crime has to make macro category detective movie, gangster movie, political crime, superhero movies etc
These break down further into micro-genres, for example, take superhero movie, Iron Man, for example, iron Man 1 it tells us the origin of Iron Man. More Batman begins it's origin if superhero. A story where a superhero fights its own personal battle like in hulk movie. Or a story where a superhero saves the world like fantastic 4
Action and thriller super genres:
Action and thriller both looks the same but have a difference in how they unfold the story and how the movie makes the audience feel. In action good and evil fight for example Punisher.
Now in a thriller, we don't know what's going on through the movie audience doesn’t know whom to trust whom to not. Sometimes the audience will be sacred for the protagonist and sometimes feel
fear.
Life sure genre:
It's the category in which I experience real-life feeling, situations, for example, let's take a movie called good will hunting we experienced confusion in our mind like an actor. Small small drams will go on and the audience will experience them
So this was all we can take any of one from 11 categories and being creative we can use modifiers live voice, pathways, super genres etc to further divide it just a matter of creativity that's all.
