Genre And Sub-genre

What is a genre and sub-genre?

Genres are types or way of categorising media products into groups by their shared characteristics.In films, there are different genres like horror, comedy, romantic, thriller and many more. Then you have sub-genre which means more categories branching out of a genre. For example in thriller, the different sub-genre you have are comedy thriller, romantic thriller, action thriller and many more.

The film that has inspired me is called "Room 6" which falls under the sub-genre of psychological thriller. The storyline of this film is that a school teacher named Amy has been proposed by her boyfriend named Nick early in the morning and she promises her answer late in the afternoon. After her class, while coming back home, Nick has a car accident in a crossroad. He breaks his leg and an ambulance takes him to the hospital. Amy has a phobia with hospitals, but she goes to the nearest hospital. However, Nick is not there, and she meets Lucas who was also involved in the accident and is looking for his sister that has disappeared in the same weird circumstance. They decided to team up and search together where the the victims might have been interned, while Amy experiences the most bizarre and scary situations.

 

In this trailer, it shows some of the main parts of the film but it doesn't give away the storyline and also in this trailer, it shows you the scary parts of the film to kind of give a feel of what to expect in this film. There is a lot of jump shots being used in the trailer which causes tension and also what is does is leave you asking questions as to what will happen next.
