Here’s everything you need to know to survive the disaster in your next film.
What kind of movie do you like to put on when it’s raining outside? Or what if you want a wild rollercoaster ride that almost always has a happy ending? There are many different film and TV genres that can scratch those itches, but for me, I love a good disaster movie. The disaster film and TV genre is epically fun. There are massive earthquakes, tornadoes, moons falling, the end of mankind, character archetypes, and lots of very loose science. What’s not to love?
Today, I want to go over the disaster film genre. We’ll look at the definition, examples, and some of the tropes you can expect to find inside it. Hopefully, this is your guide to unlocking another genre you can use in your writing, producing, directing, and overall enjoyment of cinema.
Let’s get started.
