VIDEO GENRES

DRAMA

The drama genre features stories with high stakes and many conflicts. They’re plot-driven and demand that every character and scene move the story forward. Dramas follow a clearly defined narrative plot structure, portraying real-life scenarios or extreme situations with emotionally-driven characters.

MYSTERY

A mystery film is a genre of film that revolves around the solution of a problem or a crime. It focuses on the efforts of the detective, private investigator or amateur sleuth to solve the mysterious circumstances of an issue by means of clues, investigation, and clever deduction.

COMEDY

Comedy films are “make ’em laugh” films designed to elicit laughter from the audience. Comedies are light-hearted dramas, crafted to amuse, entertain, and provoke enjoyment. The comedy genre humorously exaggerates the situation, the language, action, and characters.

PHOTOGRAPHY CATEGORIES

PORTRAIT

Portrait photography aims to capture the identity, personality, and essence of a subject utilizing photographic techniques such as composition, lighting, and posing. Some portraits are more traditional and formal while other types of portraits are more casual such as lifestyle portraiture that capture subjects in everyday life.

STILL LIFE

In a nutshell, a still life is a work of art that focuses on inanimate subjects. The major advantage offered by still life is the freedom to arrange the objects any way you want. A lot of emphasis is put on the arrangement of the items, the lighting, and the framing.

ABSTRACT

Abstract images are conceived or imagined outside of ‘reality’. They can encompass a huge variety of subject matter, take us out of our comfort zone, make us question what we see, or invite us to enter another realm.
