Types of Movies Within the Movie Genre

A movie, also known as a video, short film, movie short or multimedia movie, is an artistic work of visual entertainment designed to simulate events, stories, visions, impressions, beauty, or environment through the employment of moving pictures. The word’moviemaking’ is derived from the verb ‘to move’; in other words, movie making involves arranging things (the actors, props, backgrounds, and so on) in such a way as to permit the audience to visually enjoy its experience of watching the movie. This is perhaps the oldest form of entertainment. Movie making has taken many forms over the years but the basic principles have not changed.

Motion pictures are categorized into two main categories: live action and animation. Live action movies are often used as the source for stage plays and operas, while animation films are often used as the basis for television programs, computer games, and other amusement media. Movies are made by Hollywood studios such as Walt Disney studios, Dreamworks, Pixar, Twentieth Century Fox, and Sony Pictures. There are, of course, independent and creatively made movies as well.

In terms of specific genres, the two most popular are comedy and drama. Comedy movies are usually intended to entertain their viewers. They are typically about a daily or romantic life within contemporary society-where relationships are usually expected to be happy and fulfilling. These types of movies are also popular for being incredibly timely and culturally relevant. Film noir, fantasy, horror, science fiction, martial arts, and thriller are other common genres of comedies.

Drama is a more complex subject and the two words’Drama’ and ‘Movies’ often do not make a good combination. However, the two words ‘Drama’ and ‘Movie’ often are used to refer to one and the same thing. A movie is often considered a drama when it tackles a dramatic or serious topic such as war, crime, death, illness, and other similar subjects. When it comes to motion pictures though, a movie is usually a comedy if it is intended to entertain its audience members as well as entertain them.

The term ‘comedian’ itself has more than one usage. It can refer to both a comic actor and a singer, and the word ‘comedy’ itself is an anagram of the term ‘comedian’. The comedian as a character in movies may be a famous stand up comic with a quick-fire wit, a foul-mouthed character, or one that is thoughtful and sarcastic. The theme of a comedy movie can vary widely from film to film; however, the basic premise of the genre remains the same.

When it comes to themes, movies range widely in their themes and aesthetics. Movies can either deal with serious subjects such as the fight between good and evil, crime, supernatural beings, or the future of mankind, or they can deal with more light-hearted topics, which may include romance, humor, fantasy, and comedy. Most movie themes are based around a particular character that the audience identifies with or identify with. A common theme throughout movies in this genre includes the theme of friendship, family, love, courage, or other human emotions.
