Genre Preferences
Definitions
A genre is a specific type of music, film or writing.
A hybrid genre is a genre that blends themes and elements from two or more genre's.
Genre 1 : Psycholgical Thriller
I prefer to watch movies of the psychological/thriller hybrid genre, particularly those directed by director Christopher Nolan. I prefer this hybrid genre as it gives a subjective meaning to the film and forces the audience to think about the meaning of the story line to actually be able to understand the film. A huge array of shots are used to portray the meaning behind psychological/thriller films.
An example of a psychological/thriller is the 2010 film 'Inception'.
Genre 2 : Horror
Conventions: Extreme Close Ups, Lighting (Shadows, Dark/Dim lighting)
I particularly enjoy films of the horror genre because it adds an element of suspense to the film, keeping the audience on edge. Furthermore in any good horror film, there is always a surprise which will keep the viewer motivated to continue watching the film.
An example of a horror film is the 2015 movie Sinister 2
Genre 3: Action
Conventions: Explosions,Weapons,Intense music/soundtrack, Lighting (Bright)
I particularly enjoy action based films as they are often fast paced and the storyline develops very quickly often having multiple plots in one film.
An example of an action film is Fast and Furious 7
