Comedy horror movies blend horror and comic motifs in its plots. Rom-Coms are usually light-hearten, but may include some emotion. Romantic Comedies (Rom-Coms) are usually love stories about 2 people from different worlds, who must overcome obstacles to be together. Music, lighting and sets (man-made places in movie studios where the movie is made) are all designed to add to the feeling. Horror movies use fear to excite the audience. Disney is famous for their family movies. They are mainly made for children but often entertaining for adults as well. Family movies are made to be good for the entire family. Film noir movies are 1940s-era detective dramas about crime and violence. Emotion (feelings) are a big part of the movie and the audience (people watching the movie) may get upset and even cry. For example, a husband and wife who are divorcing must each try to prove to a court of law that they are the best person to take care of their child. Tragedies are always dramas, and are about people in trouble. They usually follow a basic plot where one or two main characters (each actor plays a character) have to ‘overcome’ (get past) an obstacle (the thing stopping them) to get what they want. They tell stories about relationships between people.
Dramas are serious, and often about people falling in love or needing to make a big decision in their life. They are nearly always serious and may involve strongly emotional subjects, for example cruelty. Documentaries are movies that are (or claim to be) about real people and real events. Comedies are funny movies about people being silly or doing unusual things or being in silly or unusual situations that make the audience laugh. Buddy movies often involve comedy, but there is also some emotion, because of the close friendship between the ‘buddies’.
Buddy movies involve 2 heroes, one must save the other, both must overcome obstacles. These movies used to be drawn by hand, one frame at a time, but are now made on computers. Animated movies use artificial images like talking cartoons to tell a story. Adventure Movies usually involve a hero who sets out on a quest to save the world or loved ones. Action movies do not usually make people cry, but if the action movie is also a drama, emotion will be involved. One hero somehow manages to save everyone. For example, in Die Hard, terrorists take control of a skyscraper and ask for a big ransom in exchange for not killing the hostage workers. Action movies usually need very little effort to watch, since the plot is normally simple. They usually involve ‘goodies’ and ‘baddies’, so war and crime are common subjects. Action movies have a lot of exciting effects like car chases and gun fights, involving stuntmen.
