Genres

In order to achieve more focused and relevant research, I must decide on a genre for my own teaser trailer. There are many genres to choose from, the main ones being; Action, Adventure, Comedy, Crime, Drama, Epics, Horror, Musicals, Science fiction, War and Westerns. Within this genres, there are hundred of sub genres. I have chose three genres that are closely linked in which I shall base my research around.

Crime : developed around the sinister actions of criminals (e.g bankrobbers, underworld figures, murderers). Often classed as "film noir" or "detective mysetery" because of similarities. Oftern includes "serial killer" films.

Drama : serious, plot driven, realistic characters/settings/situation. Usually not focused on special effects/comedy/action. Include many subsets.

Horror : designed to frighten and invoke our hidden worst fears. Usually ends with a shocking finale. Often combined with Science Fiction. There are many sub-genres; slasher, teen terror, serial killers, satanic, zombies.
