Genre and sub-genre

Genre and sub genre: genres are categories in which films are put into depending on what it is about and what features are included in the film.
Such as: Action, adventure, comedy, horror, thriller, etc.

Sub genres are genres within a genre such as a romantic comedy or action and thriller. This means that aspects from both genres are included in the film.

This can be exhibited by putting maybe fighting and guns in together with highlights of love and intimacy Making the genre action and the sub genre romance.

                                         For example in this film 'the dark knight rises you can see by the background there are police officers with guns, smashed vehicles and a lot of damage, suggesting that the genre is action. However the batman dressed in dark clothing with an angry facial expression along with dark colours in the background creates excitement and tension therefore you can say the sub genre is 'thriller by the the film is portrayed in the cover.
