There are many genres such as:
- Action
- Adventure
- Comedy
- Drama
- Crime & Gangster
- Epics/Historical
- Horror
- Musical/Dance
- Science Fiction
- War
- Western
- Romance
A common example includes "RomCom" or also known as "Chick Flick." This is favored by mostly females, as they contain a not so typical love plot which includes comedic elements to it and a most likely happy ending, however sometimes if they director wants to create a twist; they could include a peculiar love match just to surprise the audience. In most cases one of the main characters or both tend be good looking to attract rather mainstream audiences. The music in the background are normally modern music and occasional classical music to fit the mood or scene.

Narrative is the way a sequence of events are revealed to an audience. An example of this is 500 days of Summer. The first time Tom Hensen sees Summer Finn, he falls for her; you could say this was love at first sight. However this was unrequited love as he later finds out that the love he has for her wasn't returned as she had fallen for someone else despite saying she does not believe in true love. The film shows altering days that he spent with her and without, the narrator telling the story in the background reminisces by going back to different days, not necessarily in order. The film decides to show the audience particular days, not all; which is an interesting technique used throughout the film making industry. This is called non-linear as the sequence of events are revealed in an unexpected order, another example of this is pulp fiction. On the other hand, linear us the sequence of events revealed in order; beginning, middle and end. This is the most popular theme used in the film making industry.
