Different Film Genres

Different Film Genres 

Thriller
Thriller is a broad genre of film and television, having lots of sub genres. Thrillers are characterized and are known by the moods they give off, giving viewers heightened feelings of suspense, excitement, surprise, anticipation and anxiety.

Horror 
Horror is a film genre to stimulate a negative emotional reaction from viewers by playing on the audience’s fears. Inspired by literature from authors like Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker, and Mary Shelley, horror films have existed for more than a century. The gore and the supernatural are frequent themes, and may overlap with the fantasy, supernatural fiction and thriller genres. Some examples of horror films are Saw, Nightmare On Elm Street and 28 Days Later.

Comedy
Comedy is a genre of film in which the main focus is on humour. These films are designed to make the audience laugh through amusement and most often work by exaggerating characteristics for humorous effect. Films in this style traditionally have a happy. One of the oldest genres in film, some of the very first silent movies were comedies, as slapstick comedy often relies on a visual aid, without requiring sound. When sound became more popular in films used during the 1920s, comedy films took another changed, as laughter could result from emphasised situations but also dialogue. Some examples of comedy films are Borat, The Hangover and Austin Powers.

Action
Action film is a film genre in which one or more heroes are put into a series of challenges that typically include physical feats, extended fight scenes, violence, and frantic chases. Action films usually feature a character struggling against incredible chances, which include life-threatening situations, a villain, or a pursuit which generally results in victory for the hero. Advancements in CGI have made it cheaper and easier to create action sequences and other visual effects that required the efforts of professional stunt crews in the past. The disadvantages of CGI being used in action films is that it is very expensive which increases the amount spent for a film to be produced.  Examples of Action films consist of Die Hard, The Avengers and The Matrix. 

Crime And Gangster
Crime and Gangster Films are developed around the actions of criminals or gangsters, particularly bank robbers, underworld figures, or ruthless hoodlums who operate outside the law, stealing and violently murdering their way through life. Crime films encompass or cross over many levels, and may include at least these different types of films: the gangster film, the detective 
film, the crime comedy, the suspense-thriller, and the police film. These films consist of Snatch, Scarface and The Krays.
