Best of Films: Research & Categorisation

Luckily, I stumbled across a helpful collection of data provided by The Information is Beautiful Awards, a competition website dedicated to data visualisation and information design.  Their brief is to create a set of visuals that represent a set of data provided by them, including all Hollywood films of the past 5 years (excluding 2012)

From this I have devised a complete list of film genres and storylines, which I will present as icon designs:

Genres

ACTION _ ADVENTURE _ ANIMATION _ BIOGRAPHY _ COMEDY _ CRIME _ DOCUMENTARY _ DRAMA _ HORROR _ MYSTERY _ ROMANCE
