Narrative and Genre

Narrative film making refers to the types of movies that tell a story. These are the films most widely screened in theaters, broadcast on TV, streamed in the internet, and sold as DVDs and Blu-rays. 

Genre's are the different types of films or TV Series there are. For example, if a film is scary, mysterious and leaves suspense its a thriller.

With my knowledge on Narrative and Genre, I can create my own successful film. I will be able to use different techniques used in different genres in my film, depending on what the genre or narrative is.

3 Main examples of Genres are;

Thriller

Thriller is a broad genre of literature, film, and television programming that uses suspense, tension and excitement as the main elements. Thrillers heavily stimulate the viewer's moods giving them a high level of anticipation, ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, surprise, anxiety and/or terror. Thriller films tend to be adrenaline-rushing, gritty, rousing and fast-paced. Literary devices such as red herrings, plot twists and cliffhangers are used extensively. A thriller is a villain-driven plot, whereby he or she presents obstacles that the protagonist must overcome.
