Research and Planning: Genre

I am going to research four different genres to help are group decide on what genre we would use in are film trailers. I wanted to learn and research into all genres to explore in depth each one to choose which one interests me the most. Below are the genres i have looked in to and studied:


Action: Action films have high energy, fast speed, big budget films, stars, stunts, material arts and mostly non stop motion. To me some action films seem non realistic as they have edited and changed that much in there movies. They use a lot of the stereotypes with villains and heros or protagonist promoted by big stars including Bruce Willis, Charles Branson, Sean Connery etc.


This is an action film i have chosen i think it has typical connotations of an action film and gives you an instep to a high budget action film which is modern.


DIE HARD 2- Action film trailer.

Romance: Romance films are full of emotion and love and the romantic affection by two people in the film. A typical romance film is normally where a male meets a female or vise versa. They may be a obsticle in which creates that the couple can not be together but normally entitles in a happy ending. Some romances may upset the audience as some may be heart breaking others may make the audience cry with happyiness. Many romances couples watch them as its a romantic experience, although i think the audiences are more females as its a stereotype that women like romance films.

These films are ones such as 'The Note Book', 'What women want', Days of summer etc..

• Horror- Horror films are there to make the audienced feel scared or even disgusted by what they see. They feature deaths, killings and violence mainly to show horror to there audiences. Horror films use many jump cuts through out filming which make audiences physically jump whilst watching them this may give them a thrill while watching horror films. Horror films have become very popular over the years. However most horrors are surreal or supernatural. Examples of this genre are films such as, Saw, One missed Call, Nightmare on Elm Street etc...
• Science Fiction- The genre usually features Propps theory such as heros, villians. Other characters such as alliens, distant planets, nuclear havoc, futurist settings and technology. Examples such as Invasions of body snatchers, Star Wars etc...
