Film Genres - INI
Film genres are a classification system that categorizes movies based on elements such as the main driving force of the narrative, plot, characters, and setting. Based on the official genre definitions established by IMDb (Internet Movie Database), this system includes 22 major categories such as Action, Comedy, Drama, and Horror. Each genre is classified as either objective (determinable by clear criteria) or subjective (dependent on viewer interpretation), playing a crucial role in film production, distribution, marketing, and audience selection.
