The rhythm, the tone, the style and the intention to evoke certain feelings, the setting or the format, are key factors in determining the genre of a film.

Movie genres or film genres group different movies based on setting, characters, plot, story, tone, styles, syntax, templates, paradigms, motifs, rules, and themes. Sub-genres is a smaller category that may combine different elements from multiple genres. If you want to create your own screenplay, here are 70+ screenplay examples from top Hollywood films.
To see the effect genres have on viewers, watch how Zootopia has been edited in a way to cover 7 different genres:
The word “genre” comes from French, where it means “type” or “kind.” We define a particular genre as a type or kind of category of movie or film that has its own recognizable conventions and character types such as:
Setting or Period: When and where the movie takes place including certain stereotypes, props, or icons. Ex:
Horror: Dark places and unexplained things like forests, graveyards, castles, abandoned structures or buildings, locked doors to remove rooms, blood, gore, or killing instruments.
Sci-Fi: Outer space or futuristic items like spaceships or laser guns
Sports: Sports arenas, teams, athletes, and sports equipment
War: Different vehicles such as tanks, planes, or realistic battlefields
Westerns: Cattle, stage coaches, saloons, ten-gallon hats, the frontier, or revolvers
Characters:
Comedy: nerds, jocks, token minorities, or friends
Crime: Detectives, gangsters, criminals, fugitives, or inmates
Horror: Zombies, serial killers, or ghosts
Sci-Fi: Aliens, monsters, or superheroes
Sports: The underdog
Westerns: Cowboys, outlaws, the Sheriff
Subject Matter: Storyline, plots, or themes similar to other movies in the genre
Action: Chase sequences, extended fight scenes, guns, races against time
Comedy: Slapstick humor, witty dialogue, rites of passage, gross-out humor, fish-out-of-water, cross-dressing, mistaken identity
Crime: whodunnits, capers, rival gangs, robberies
Horror: urban legends, ghost stories, the “final girl” survivor, paranormal and occult, survival-horror, ‘found footage’
Melodramas: a self-sacrificial maternal figure
Musicals: singing and dancing
Romance: different stages of “falling in love” with a subsequent break-up and reconciliation, true love, fairy tales, forbidden love
Sci-Fi: interstellar travel, “space operas”, doomsday, and apocalyptic tales
Filming Techniques and Formats:
Camera Angles: low / high angles
Shooting style: hand-held, POV, stationary, or “found footage”
Lighting: High-key or low/dark lighting
Editing style: Length of edit, use of jump cuts
Costuming: use of blood, masks, special effects
Color Schemes
Makeup
Music and Audio: Using sound to enhance or emphasize different characteristics, plots, or create a mood (danger, laughter, adventure, feature, excitement, sensual, etc.)
Genres provide a simple way for movie-makers to produce within a framework and provide an easily marketable product, but may become cliche-ridden and over-imitated. If a traditional genre has been reinterpreted, it may be called revisionist.
Genres typically go through 5 distinct stages throughout cinematic history:
Primitive: Earliest and most pure genre form where iconography, themes, and patterns develop
Classical or Traditional: Growth, popularity, and solidification of genre with clear characteristics and prototypes
Revisionist: Reinterpretation or questioning of the original genre with greater complexity of themes while keeping many iconographic and characteristic elements
Parodic: Mocking or spoofing the genre through over-exaggeration of characters or themes
Extended, Mixed, Hybrids: Blending various genre elements together
(Quick note: When talking about genre, we are referring to movie genres within the realm of narrative movies. Thus, documentary and experimental movies do not constitute genres unto themselves, rather, they are almost entirely different styles of moviemaking. In addition, animated movies are not a genre, but just a different way to make a movie in any genre.)
Let’s now jump into the major movie genres, and explain what makes them distinctive.
Action:
Action movies involve one or more protagonists overcoming non-stop dangerous challenges and include:
Physical feats
Extended fights
Extensive stunts
Frantic car chases
Rescues
Battles
Escapes
Catastrophic disasters – floods, explosions, fires, etc.
Adventure
2 Dimensional ‘good’ heroes / heroines battling it out with ‘bad’ guys
Story and character development are generally secondary. These movies move quickly and have a clear distinction between good and evil. Also, action movies almost always involve a “ticking clock” element to the plot, where the protagonist has to do something (disarm a bomb, save a VIP, etc.) before time runs out.
Audience Expectations:
Clear division of good and evil
Lots of fighting and set piecesExplicación:
