Sub Genres are sub categorizes that are almost like sub headings within a larger film genre, but have their own distinctive subject matter, style, iconography and formulas. Some examples of Sub Genres include, Action Adventure consisting of Battleship and Avatar, Rom Com’s such as Pretty Woman, Slapstick Comedy, Black Comedy, example films such as Anchorman and Burke and Hare, Spy Fiction, Survival Stories and Epics such as Lord of the Rings.
Hybrid Genre
Hybrid Genres have rapidly developed over the last few years, as directors have had to create new ways of telling similar stories in different ways and producing different movies. Overall a Hybrid Genre is when conflicting genres that might not seem like an effective match are put together. Examples of Horror Hybrids are Twilight which is a Horror Romance, Dead Snow which is a Horror War, Shaun of the Dead is a Horror RomCom and Pride and Prejudice is shown as a Horror Historical Drama. These are all unconventional matches but the directors have managed to make the film hybrids work effectively to create new, modern, successful films.
