  • genre categories vary per person you talk with

  • I failed at my comedy film this year. My dream film of 2023 did pretty good 12 film festivals. I would say my genre is what ever the film festival challenge is. I have created small films. No budget films. 118 film festivals 12 awards.. Not a genre of films I like. I did enjoy the historical fantasy film I created which does well in film festivals.

    At first the hero journey would be the genre. Most action films are set up this way to show a lone person going through an epic adventure

  • Genre the ability to complete a tale or film all within a certain point of view.

  • Hello, hope to learn more on filming genre.

    Meaning? The characters were nice. The tale different. The outcome expected.

  • Very useful information. I have yet to make a comedy. Must consider that. To realize drama is the best option to make is interesting. cheapest movie genre to make with the most profit is Drama.
    Genre Market Share Revenue Production Cost Profit Profit Ratio

  • War and western decline - simply put the money to make a decent war movie is more budget than most have. Westerns - the customs and ideas behind the story are no longer being written. Meaning? War books exist but are not pushed by the publishing houses neither are westerns. Luis Lamore books all 130 of them could be made into movies that would be box office...

  • according to a rather famous director producer whose lines I am stealing here.

  • So rather than take inexperienced untalented directors, these legendary producers relied on a stable of experienced untalented fillmmakers. These untalented schlubs who are often not very good people changed the look, style and content of B movies for years to come. Instead of the gothic silliness and eroticism of the Full Moon Subspecies series, shot in...

    reflection - genre seems to be just to be defining a storytellers narrative.

  • Genre is really a classification of a story. There are many different stories to be told.
    Meaning?
    For every horror film - there could be a comedy or love or crime or romance tale intertwined within the story.
    For every thriller there could be in the story a different place, people, or idea to steal from dreams to things to conceptual thoughts.
    For every...

  • Did this for a film challenge. Quantum trainer - a time traveling agency that enters the multiverse stealing ideas, famous paintings from dead or dying realities throughout time.
    Meaning? Each parallel reality has its own ending.

    Or an idea that is shelved in one reality...

  • Anything that can be thought of is possible a genre. Examples

    So new sub genre that of Tartaria https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartaria IS it real?
    Time travel is real.
    Anything thought of under the sun is real. Per Solomon.
    Could everything you see be some sort of Steampunk reality where all of time, history etc is mirrored in yet different or better...

  • Clinton Siegle made a comment

    Tis a problem is it not? Why? By defining something you limit that something? In yet? According to Solomon everything under the sun has been done.
    Thus?
    Means we are stuck in an absurdity film called reality today. But if we are all time traveling which according to science we are.
    Means we are in a future. In yet our thoughts are 80 milliseconds in the...

  • Science fiction or Magic? Tis the question of Ender the pirate traversing time. Imagine if you will a dreamer - whose dream is stolen by a kung fu master and a scream queen from a c rated movie?

    Exactly. Is it magic? Or science run amok in the simulator which is called reality?

  • The story teller opening scenes.. Money, script, who a person knows, where and what can be done with editing and special effects - make or break a story.

  • The genre is defined by the story teller. Thus each genre is or can be differently spliced together.
    Each genre has a story to tell - which could or can be different

  • Clinton Siegle made a comment

    The split experiment - mirror realities of films.. The question is nothing can not be possible in film - if it can or could or will be imagined. Which begs the question - could all of it happen in reality in alternative time or simulator?

  • Western films - I used to think were all the same.
    and now?
    I pay more attention to strange ideas / inventions that appear out of no where at times.
    wars and politics are all changing

  • Yes in money films a named actor makes a film. No in indie films - the story makes the film.

    So depends on the film festival. As for money making films - yes it does make or break a story as to who your characters are played by. However in the film festival genre that I work in no budget etc. I have found trying something new makes the story interesting.

  • Clinton Siegle made a comment

    Characters make or break a story.
    My films are about what I get. Meaning? I get throw away cuts from several actresses etc that few people would know. And I produce odd films showing what I have in a story fashion. Is it any good? 108 film festivals, 11 awards - on a no budget film is something.
    So I am very lucky in an unlucky way. I am disabled. And? I...

  • Clinton Siegle made a comment

    Thriller films depend on a type of storyline. Depends on what is needed from the budget to make it happen. Example - Alternative realities a short made with several wins shows that live action is not needed but only a vision of what is thought was needed for a short film.
    Western films with the idea of West World brings out the possibility that if we are...

  • @IanWall maybe - maybe just how the storyteller tells the story. Meaning - a good tale in evil hands can be turned into a evil tale.

  • @IanWall if you are saying that all history is a lie - I would concur. That culture is a lie here too? I concur. People claim they want good to win. In yet? All wars are deception or a lie. And thus almost all industrial corporations are a lie. Meaning? 30 percent of US culture is built on building, selling, supplying, and killing. it might actually be more...

  • @IanWall of course. I agree with you. Just would you agree that almost everything would be considered a thriller at some point in time. Meaning heroes are the thriller for the villain, propaganda for all wars paints one side as the villain while the other sides paints the other side as a villain. Even in romance everything seems to come down to some mystery...

  • @GraceHales I concur. propaganda is all films are.. rooting for the "good guy" when you realize the hobbits broke into goblins layers slayed their king - making it a thriller for them. or dorothy gile of kansas manslaughter for driving her home into one sister then stealing her shows. conspiring with the government to steal the broom of the other sister and...

  • @HikariI question for you.. in looking at the wizard of oz.. would you say it is a hero movie or a thriller? Meaning thriller is crime, and murder..

  • question for you.. if you looked at say the Hobbit - would you say that the heroes of the story hobbits are the villains of the goblins? meaning the hobbits broke into their caves, killed their king, destroyed their bridges.. would you say that the hero is the thriller for the goblins?

  • question for you. if you looked at the opposite side of the story. would you say all hero movies are a thriller for the villain in the story? meaning batman - killing superman - who is the good guy?

  • Clinton Siegle made a comment

    Only idea I have come to realize that hero journey all depends on the perception of the story teller. Whether they are throwing a ring into a volcano or the goblins just living a life at a castle where the hobbits kill them. Both sides could write the story as a thriller or a hero story.

  • @IanWall to be honest prior to 2016 - I would say that was a great fictional tale about how society is controlled by THE MAN.
