This document summarizes key aspects of different movie genres: - Action films rely heavily on special effects and stunts and have large budgets. They feature recognizable action stars but are not highly praised critically. - Comedy films are star-driven and have lighter stories and budgets than action films. They aim to make audiences laugh. - Thriller movies have serious stories, mystery, and suspense to keep audiences interested. They feature powerful performances. - Horror movies use graphic special effects to scare audiences and invent new ways for characters to die gruesome deaths. Believable performances are prioritized over quality of acting.

Genre Reflection By Rashedul Bari
Action I have found that action films rely on either CGI effects or stuntmen to complete the action sequences in their films, which is pivotal for their films to work. Action films normally have very big budgets, normally, exceeding the $100 million mark, as the action sequences require a lot of money to be authentic. I have also found that action movies have stereotypical action heroes as well such as: Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme etc. These actors have vast experience in action movies and studios look to these actors if they are making an action film. What I have also noticed is that action do not get much acclaim in terms of reviews by critics as their stories and character development is not as important as the action sequences.
Comedy I have found that comedy movies are mainly star driven, they require a charismatic and funny star that makes the audience laugh such as Eddie Murphy in the Beverly Hills Cop series of films. Stars in each comedy movies are different as they have their own style to make the audience love them for example Zach Galifianakis in the Hangover series. I have found that comedy ten to have smaller budgets compared to action movies, with their budgets barely exceeding the $50 million mark. I have also found that comedies always have light hearted stories as their bases and therefore the audience cant take them seriously.
Thriller Thriller movies tend to have very serious stories for example someone gets murdered at the start, then the detective must work out who this criminal is. They also have mystery around every corner, there is never a straight forward answer for anything and the audience will always be kept in the dark. Thriller movies typically powerful performances to keep the audience interested. A typical thriller actor might be Morgan Freeman in, ‘The Bone Collector’, ‘Along Came a Spider’ and ‘Seven’.
Horror Horror movies are usually require a lot of effects to make the audience believe, for example, somebody’s intestines have been chopped out. I find that horror movies require a lot of scary situations to pull the audience in. I find that movies like the seven ‘SAW’ movies really invented new ways for people to die a gruesome death, these effects make the audience want to close their eyes and open them at the same time to see what happens. I have also found that horror movies do not essentially need good performances, but they just need to be believable so the audience can feel their terror and fear of the unknown.
