What movies are there?
Since the invention of the brothers Lumièrecinematography passed almost one hundred and twenty years, and during this time the cinema has changed very much. Cinema has acquired many new genres and forms, so the classification of modern films is quite confusing.
Artistic and documentary
First of all, movies are divided into twoLarge groups: documentary and play. The basis of documentary films is real material: people, events, places - all this existed or exists in reality. Strictly speaking, the first film in the world, "The Arrival of the Train", shown in the cinema of the Lumiere brothers, was also purely documentary. Such films can tell about scientific achievements and discoveries, historical events, the lives of famous people. In addition, documentary films are sometimes used in feature films to create a more vivid effect. For example, in the Soviet film "Some Old Men Are Going to Battle" materials of military newsreel are used. A game or feature film is entirely based on the actors' play. There are many types of classification of feature films: color and black and white, mute and with sound, full-length and short. In addition, the feature film is classified according to the genre.Classify films can be and in the place of their production, as some national products are, in fact, a separate genre (for example, Indian cinema).According to experts, at the momentThere is a unified system for dividing films by genre. Nevertheless, if we reject the art criticism approach, there is still a need to let the viewer understand what he can expect from the film. Many genres in cinema came from theatrical art, but there are also generated directly by the cinema.

In addition, genres may overlap, resulting in the emergence of light fantasy films with a comic story, westerns with a detective story, thrillers on a historical basis, and many other options. All genres have a certain impact on the viewer, achieved with the help of techniques and techniques characteristic of a particular genre. Also, it is worthwhile to single out animated films, which are performed by means of animation. They, too, can be divided into different genres, as well as a feature film. Finally, we must not forget about the short film, the task of which is to contain as much information and emotions as possible in a 10-15 minute format.
