Genre Types and their openings

 Genre A film genre is a motion-picture category based on similarities either in the narrative elements, aesthetic approach, or the emotional response to the film. In the early days of cinema, genres were much more uniform and defined. Just as they were in literature and other forms of art and entertainment, people would go to the theater to watch a war film, a musical, or a comedy . The basic genres were well defined and included some of the following: 

Action: 

An action story is similar to adventure, and the protagonist usually takes a risky turn, which leads to desperate situations (including explosions, fight scenes, daring escapes, etc.).

Comedy: 

It is a story that tells about a series of funny, or comical events, intended to make the audience laugh. It is a very open genre, and thus crosses over with many other genres on a frequent basis. 

Adventure: 

It is about a protagonist who journeys to epic or distant places to accomplish something. It can have many other genre elements included within it, because it is a very open genre. The protagonist has a mission and faces obstacles to get to their destination. Also, adventure stories usually include unknown settings and characters with prized properties or features.

Drama: 

Within film, television and radio (but not theater), drama is a genre of narrative fiction (or semi-fiction) intended to be more serious than humorous in tone, focusing on in-depth development of realistic characters who must deal with realistic emotional struggles.

Fantasy: 

A fantasy story is about magic or supernatural forces, rather than technology if it happens to take place in a modern or future era.

History: 

A story about a real person or event. There are also some fiction works that purport to be the "memoirs" of fictional character as well, done in a similar style, however, these are in a separate genre.

Horror: 

A horror story is told to deliberately scare or frighten the audience, through suspense, violence or shock. Mystery: A mystery story follows an investigator as they attempt to solve a puzzle (often a crime). 

Romance: 

The term "romance" has multiple meanings; historical romances like those of Walter Scott would use the term to mean "a fictitious narrative in prose or verse; the interest of which turns upon marvelous and uncommon incidents.
