Planning:Mind Map of Film Genres

In this post I have included a small mind map of selected film genres.


Click on this link to visit my Mind map of the film genres. If the link does not work, I have explained in the Prezi a few things:




Action:
Usually involves high energy, stunts and energy with the possibility of rescues, battles, fights, escapes. Also involves non-stop, spectacular rhythm and pacing.
  • Fighting scenes
  • Fast paced.
  • Explosions.
  • Chase scenes.
  • Battles.
  • Murders.
Comedy:
Comedy puns are light hearted, pipes consistently and deliberately designed to amuse and provoke laughter by exaggerating the situation, the language, action, relationships and characters comedies usually come in two general formats: Comedian-ied and Situation comedy.
  • Humorous.
  • Over exaggerating.
  • Funny.
  • Stupid.
Crime:
Developed around one sinister action of Criminals, particularly bank robbers, underworld figures, stealing and murdering their way through life usually include aspects of killing, guns and chases.
Include aspects of killing, guns and chases.
  • Bad guys.
  • Detectives.
  • Police.
  • Secret Hideouts.
  • Gangs.
  • Deaths.
Thriller:
Thrillers are often hybrids with other genres - there are action thrillers, crime thrillers etc. These are types of films known to promote intense excitement, suspense, a high level of anticipation and nerve racking tension. Another closing related genre is the horror genre, also designed to create tension and suspense, taking the viewer through agony and fear.
  • Suspense.
  • Murder.
  • Police.
  • Guns.
  • Government/secret services.
I will be progressing with the choice of an action thriller for the opening two minutes of my film, I may include some comedy in it.
