Types of films Action – These types of movies are high octane, big budget movies
that show many physical stunts. If there is heroism, fights involving
guns, swords or karate moves, horseback action or any destructive
forces of nature, your keyword is Action.
Adventure-They are similar to action films but the action may be less
and more weight will be given to experiences.
Comedies-They are loved by young and old for the feel good content.
A comedy can be based on innocent humor, exaggerations, facial expressions or downright crude jokes.
Crime and Gangster Films- Such films trace the lives of fictional and
true criminals, gangs or mobsters.
Drama films- They are sensible movies with a strong plot. Dramas
depict true stories or real-like situations. The character development is
note-worthy.
Epics/ Historical films–An epic involves elements like war, romance
and adventure. The sets are created carefully to reflect the time period. Historical movies tend to pay homage to a legend or hero.
Horror- You either love them or hate them. These films expose our fears and give rise to nightmares. For some, horror films provide catharsis but
others can barely sit through a movie, due to the violence and gory
scenes.
Musicals/ Dance films–These are entertaining films that are based on
full scale scores or song and dance. They can either be delightful, light-hearted films for the while family or contain a dark aspect (Sweeney
Todd) that is explored through music.
War films-These are very true to real life and often depict the waste of
war. Attention is given to acts of heroism, the human spirit,
psychological damage to soldiers and the pain of families waiting at
home.
