- Action e.g inception- I really like the usage of editing within this film especially in the beginning sequence which we could try to replicate in our own.
- Sci-fi e.g alien- this is not a genre which i feel we can access but we can take the elementsof supension used within.
- Horror e.g the last exorcism- The mise-en-scene is very steroetypical which I feel can be replicated. e.g use of costume which is ragged and quite animalistic. This can be used for Zoe's character.
- Fantasy e.g Twilight
- Adventure e.g Indiana Jones
- comedy Meet The Fockers
- western The Good, The bad and The Ugly
- crime e.g Scarface
- drama e.g. atonement
- historical e.g The Other Boleyn Girl
- musical e.g. The Lion king
- war e.g Boy in the striped pajamas
- biographical e.g.The Blind Side
- chick flicks e.g. The Notebook
- detective e.g. Sherlock Holmes
- disaster e.g Titanic

As you can see the most popular genre is comedy an unsuprising statistic considering that it has the second highest numerical figure in the table ( In terms of the films generated each year).However 7th on the list is horror which I perosnally thought would be higher on the list but I think it might be because generally horror films are given high ratings e.g. 15 as an average age rating , meaning that it is not accessible to the whole population. The most popular film rating is 12 which is usually associated wit comedies.

| Bar chart which I found on the internet created for personal use which subverts the national statistics said above as it states that Horror is the the highest one, with comedy being second highest. |
