1.1       Background of the Study
Film is an instrument of communication that informs and educate through entertainment.  It is also a motion picture, which as a reflection of the society reproducers the action of human being in thin coated roll or sheet of flexible materials used for photography. Researchers for a long time now have focused their minds in film viewing and preferences on the film.  This century have tried to identify film preferences on females upon salient features of their personality.  This write up have created a very short fund test, to address this problem which will give an instance feedback on the movie personality. In this project, the researcher set out to provide meaningful answers to these and other similar questions by investigating only the female preferences on movies. Agreeableness and Neuroticism on visual media preferences (for comedy, horror, action, romance and fantasy film genres). The analyses were carried out using data collected.  My Personality application on movie viewing and found that Openness, Conscientiousness and Neuroticism were the three personality traits which best predicted film preferences and gender notwithstanding. Individuals scoring high on the dimension of Openness were more likely to enjoy comedy and fantasy films and less likely to appreciate romantic films, which were very popular amongst individuals scoring high on Neuroticism. Conscientious individuals were more inclined to enjoy films belonging to action and romance categories. Gender differences with regard to visual media preferences were striking: the prevalent conception according to which females prefer romantic films, whereas male’s favors action films were confirmed. Finally, significant interactions were noted between gender and Openness with regard to preferences for action, comedy and romance film genres.

1.9       Definition of Terms
1.         Communication: Communication is the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, visuals, signals, writing, or behavior. It is derived from the Latin word "communism", meaning to share. Communication requires a sender, a message, and a recipient, although the receiver need not be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication; thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space. Communication requires that the communicating parties share an area of communicative commonality. The communication process is complete once the receiver has understood the message of the sender. It is also two-way process of reaching mutual understanding, in which participants not only exchange (encode-decode) information but also create and share meaning. See also communications.
3.         Movie: A sequence of photographs projected onto a screen with sufficient rapidity as to create the illusion of motion and continuity and a connected cinematic narrative represented in this form.  “THE SENATOR” film propagates double standard, lack of honesty, cultism, wrong society, value blackmail, lack of respect for parent.  Another movies “JENIFA” the film talks about a village girl that came to the city and began prostituting, at the end finds out  that there is no gain in it.
4.         Genres: Genre is a specific type of classification used for work of art, literature, music, or other creative pursuits. Items in a given genre often have common themes, a similar audience, etc. It is used specifically to describe classification of creative works because it has a certain sense of grayed boundaries.
