For our film that we are planning on creating, we are making it a war genre. These are good genres as it can contain gripping story lines with unexpected twists and turns and horrible situations. All though war films can be fast paced, lots of shooting and violence... There can also be sad parts. This is like 'war horse' this is about a horse that gets taken to war from its loving owners. There tends to be something that is precious like a family member or pet which will die. Many war films are based on true stories, for example American Sniper. This is about a cowboy that disagrees with terrorism and feels he should do something about it, this causes him to go out to war and be known as a man that is amazing with a gun.
Connotations
Connotations of a war film is that they're based in horrible run down areas of poor countries, however in war films you do also tend to have someone back in the home country being worried. There's always guns involved in a war film, else it will be very bad and their is always lots of military equipment and tanks causing huge explosions and making it more of a destroyed country.
