What is genre? Each film has a genre, however categorising films into the correct genre isn’t always easy as some films can have elements of different genres. There are many different film genre’s to cater to different audiences such as thriller films, comedy films, romance ECT. Movie critics and filmmakers may refer a film genre which means a subject matter or specific style. A film where you can clearly identify the film genre gives clues to potential viewers about the subject matter of the film. For an example if there are many funny scenes and hysterical moments this would be associated with being a comedy film. Some films have crossbreed with a few overlapping genres this is associated with a film having different subgenres.
Thriller films are associated with feeling anticipation and suspense. The aim for thrillers is to build up anticipation and keep the audience thinking what is going to happen next. Thrillers always emphasise on danger/tension. There is always a climax which is build up in the film. Most thrillers involve physical action such as physical stunts, chases and running scenes. There are different thrillers such as psychological thrillers which is more to do with the mind rather than imposing physical threat. Criminal thrillers are also another example this incorporates the suspenseful aspects of a thriller with a crime film plot.
