 Ponder Questions from Cave to Cloud

1. Draw a list of movie genres you are drawn to. (Me)

• Action Movies
• Sci-Fi Movies
• Romantic Movies
• Fantasy

So, I have only stated my top four of the list of movie genres that I’m drawn to.

2. Identify the key elements of these genres (typical plot, main characters, emotional impact, themes, imagery, film techniques).

Action movies - in action movie the typical plot is when the guy does everything for the girl he loves. However, the main characters would mostly be a white guy (like Bryan, from fast and the furious) , that may look as an ideal guy or in other words the dream guy of the girl. While the girl would Asian looking (sometimes) or Latina (sometimes Spanish) and she would be the main target of the enemies in the movie. Now the emotional impact of this is that it will cause you to have an adrenaline rush because of the hype that you feel when you watch it. However the movie that I like is called “I Am Wrath”.  

Sci-Fi movies -   in most of the sci-fi movies that I watch the plot is most likely starts with a boy that likes to study science. Which sometimes lead to accidents and this accident leads to him having special abilities. Then after that he will train and become a super hero and that is the typical plot of it. However, in other movies they are the bad guy that turns into a good guy. In movies that has this genres, it will make you have a mind blown. It is because it will make you think about what is happening in the movie. The movie that I like that have this genre is "X-Men: Apocalypse".   

Romantic movies -  in this type of genres the typical plot is that there is a guy that will be inlove in a girl. Then the girl will fell for the guy then they will be together. So that is the typical plot of it. While the main characters would be an ideal white guy and a white girl. They would have problems but will always end up being together. Now, the movie that I like that have this kind of genres is "The Longest Ride".

Fantasy movies - the typical plot of a fantasy movie is that it is always magical. It is the only thing that can't be changed in a fantasy movie. It may have different plot and it depends on the kind of fantasy movie that you watch.

 However, the main character would sometimes be a child and a mythical creature. The movie that I like that is a fantasy movie is "The BFG" or "The Big Friendly Giant".
