I have done some research into 5 film genres and taken some information from wikipedia about what the genres involve.
Horror- Horror films tend to get a negative emotional reaction from the viewers by playing on the audience's fears. The scenes often startle the audience through the means of macrabre and the supernatural. Examples of a horror film is Paranormal Activity, The Ring, Saw.
Comedy- Comedy emphasises mainly on humour. They are mostly light -hearted dramas and are made to entertain and amuse the audience. Examples of a comedy film is Date Night, Rush Hour, Coming to America.
Kids/ Universal- This genre of film is aimed at entertaining children or young audiences. It is usually rated U and has simplistic content that is age appropriate.Many films underneath this genre involve fantasy elements and imagination.
Many of these films are animated and contain a moral message or a plot which illustrates good overcoming evil. Examples of Kids/ Universal films are: Cinderella, Aladdin and Princess and the frog.
Musical- This is a genre where songs are sung by the characters and added into the narrative which is sometimes accompanied by dancing. Examples of a musical film are: Marry Poppins, The sound of Music and Dream girls.
Teen- This is a genre that is targeted at teenagers or young adults. The films involves the lifestyle of teenagers such as first loves, rebellion, conflivt with parents and alienation which are often presented in a stereotypical way. The films also include sexual themes, nudity and crude forms of humour. Examples of a teen film are: Twighlight, Harry Potter and The Inbetweeners.
