Choosing a Genre

Genre 1: Action
Pros:
  • Action achieved through pace
  • Easy – can do a chase scene
  • Access to a lot of potential cast
  • Narrative doesn’t necessarily need depth
  • Can be easily created through music
  • Easy target audience

Cons:
  • Chase scene is very generic and overused
  • Need access to expensive props if not doing a chase scene
  • How will we achieve birds eye establishing shots, conventions of the genre
  • Needs a large budget for sfx software (not available to shoot in school)

Ideas for opening:
  • Title – Gone

-Woman walks into an office block and enters a lift, gets out on a floor and meets another person
-Look very modern and clean, the people are sophisticated and fit in with the surroundings
  • Title – Maximum Glory

-Chase scene, man runs down an ally then gets pulled into a car
-Busy streets, casual clothes,

Genre 2: Thriller
Pros:
  • Easy to think of a narrative
  • Basic editing skills required
  • Easy to film
  • Genre easily created through music
  • Could be generic on purpose/ a past cliché of previous thrillers
  • If we choose to use props they would be relatively cheap

Cons:
  • Difficult to distinguish between horror and thriller
  • If the lighting isn’t right in the location there’s not too much we can do to change it ( we will have to choose our filming times and if we miss it shooting will be delayed)
  • Harder to focus on a target audience

Ideas for opening:
  • Title – Thrown Off

-An after death shot of someone in a car park/abandoned building
-Dirty and deserted,
  • Title – Last End

-Set at a train station man standing by himself gets a flash back
-Raining, man dressed well, not many people about
