Information about film genre
From sub-genre to hybrid genre, genre can be categorized in many different ways. Genre is the type of a movie and it helps categories different movies based on their content, plot, motifs as well as other factors. From action to horror, different genres have their unique codes and conventions which are recognizable and unique to a certain genre type. Action movies have many different codes and convention, cars for example, action movies such as the 'Fast and Furious' are well known for containing numerous racing cars.
Genre is also used to attract a specific target audience as people have different tastes and what may appeal to one group of people may not appeal to another and by looking at the genre of a movie, it establishes its content and what to expect from it.
Furthermore, there are also movies which cross between two or more genres, these are called 'hybrid genres'. For example the movie 'Scream' is a hybrid genre film as it is a 'Horror, Comedy', meaning that it contains codes and conventions of both genres, Comedy and Horror. This is extremely useful for film producers as it enhances and stimulates their creativity by allowing them to combine codes and conventions of more than one movie genre to improve the quality of their movie, as well as making their movie appeal to a larger target audience and making it more successful as a whole.

One genre I enjoy watching is action. This is due to the fact that there are always missions to be completed in action movies and the thrilling experience of watching the struggle the protagonists go through to defeat the antagonists is incredible. Action movies also contain many outbreaks, whether it's shattering windows or kicked-down doors, the sensation you get when you live vicariously through the characters is amazing. Lastly, action movies such as 'Fast and Furious 7' also contain extremely emotional endings, such as the death of a loved one. These type of endings allow you to feel the protagonist's pain and makes you, truly feel part of the movie.
