5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BE WATCHING 'BLACK MIRROR' Black Mirror is an anthology series by Charlie Brooker that deals with dark, sometimes satirical themes relating to how the advances in technology is slowly building up the decline of human interaction and empathy.

As much as the genres of movies differ, so do their audiences and each genre requires a focus of efforts on specific aspects or elements in the movie in order to meet the needs of their different demographics. For example, action movies rely on editing, effects as well as stunt choreography/coordination, horror focuses on scares, Sci-fi on special effects and visuals and dramas rely mostly on narratives and strong performances from the cast.
