Genre

Action - these usually include high budget and adrenaline filled scenes, which are normally car chases, gunfights and big explosions. The plot to most action films is very straight forward and easy to follow as it is not the focus of the genre. The plot is normally typical stock characters (hero, villain, damsel in distress etc.) and a basic linear storyline, this is because, as said earlier the action is the focus. These are created entirely for escapism.

Adventure - similar to action in many ways e.g. Normally high budget and based around the action more than the narrative. But the adventure genre focuses more around an exotic and unknown world to the audience. This reinforces the escapism this genres allows.

Comedy - uses an exaggeration of the real world to create a humours response. This is normally achieved by taking a mundane type narrative and exaggerating the characters, actions ect. For example using an exaggerated form of the police character to make it funny. Again these films hold an escapism and still use simple, yet exaggerated story-lines.

Drama - a very serious genre heavily driven by somewhat complicated and involved narratives. They normally portray very realistic characters who are era relatable, the characters also adapt and change to the world around them. They are not normally focused on special effects because they are so narrative driven, with the emotional connection between the characters and the audience. They normally also focus on important aspects of modern life or even important historical matters.

Horror - are normally focused on people's phobias and fears to get a reaction out of the audience. This can span from simple body horror and gore to subtle psychological and emotional horror. They are often combined with supernatural and fantasy because it allows for the audience to connect with those fears and get a bigger reaction. The plot lines for horrors can range from complicated to simple.
