The document discusses four film genres: action, horror, comedy, and war. It provides details about each genre, including common elements like fast pacing, stunts, and heroes/villains in action films. Horror films aim to frighten viewers using supernatural elements and playing on fears. Comedy genres can include dark comedy or sketches with few stunts. War films typically feature battles through CGI and stunts from various military perspectives.

1. Genre Research
In this PowerPoint I am going to be researching into
four different genres of films.

2. Action Genre
 This genre typically has chase sequences in it, it also
generically has a Hero and Villain in it.
 This sort of film is fast paced due to there being lots of
camera shots involved, and very few slow paced scenes.
 Most of the films have lots of different stunts in them
performed by professionals, this is what keeps the
audience gripped.
 Most new action films now involve CGI (Computer
Generated Imagery) this is because you can make other
things look like they are there went they are not, such as
spaceships etc…
 As well as stunts and other things there is also generically
a fighting scene in it as well between the Hero and Villain.

3. Horror Genre
 Horror films generically play with the emotions of the
viewers.
 They also use peoples fears to their advantage to make
the films what they are Horrors.
 They also use supernatural beings such as the Devil etc…
to make the film have another dimension, this is what
helps the film better.
 These are also fast paced when the killer is after the
victim, but they also have another dimension such as slow
paced scenes. This usually when the victim is hiding from
the killer/villain and we are waiting his arrival.
 There also stunts involved sometimes in this genre such as
Final destination where there as stunts like on the
rollercoaster etc…

4. Comedy Genre
 There are many sub categories to this genre such as Dark
comedy, Sketch etc…
 Although there are many comedy films out there they will all be
different in relation to what sort of comedy they use such as Dark
Comedy. This will involve things like War, Terrorism, Drugs Death
etc… There is also things like Sketches, this involves a small
comedy driven episode that has be recorded before been
broadcast.
 There are hardly any stunt scenes involved in this genre, unless
done for comic effect.
 They also don’t change there angles of cameras and distances
as often as they would in an action film.
 Some comedy films do have some sort of fast paced scene in
them like in Ted, where he is climbing the structure of the stadium.

5. War Genre
 Many war films feature battles of sorts whether it be on
land, water or in the air, all of this depends on what film
you are making.
 Many of these war films have a perspective whether it be
prisoners of war or black operations, showing civilian life or
just battle and struggles of the war.
 Many also have a specifically created objective such as
Inglorious Basterds where there is a group of Jewish U.S.
soldiers hunting Nazi leaders.
 Many of these also may also include CGI, as well as stunts
this is to make them look more realistic.
 Many of these war films include guns as well as explosions,
many films do but these can be seen in most of the
scenes throughout the film.
