3 Genres of Consideration

Welcome back to my blogs, I am now starting my journey to making my film!

Im now starting my reasearch process of my opening film. Coming up with genres that I wanted to do was a bit hard because there are so many that I enjoy watching. I narrowed it down to ones that I enjoy to watch and think will be fun to produce. I wanted it to be something i know a bit on and my partner would agree with. The three genres i considered are thriller, romance, and horror.

Thriller- this genre uses concepts of excitements ,tension, intensity to create suspension and make the audience want to know what happening next. Also keep the audience emotionally engaged by placing characters in dangerous and high pressure situations. Thriller focuses on the anticipation of each event of a film Everywhere minor details contributes to the big plot. The film Parasite (2019), halfway through the movie there was a major reveal that surprises the audience and turn the film into a much darker thriller. Thriller uses placed details and clues to often lead to major plot twist or for the storyline. 

Character play a major role because they are placed in position to where they are in situations that would make the audience feel the pressure with the character. The Menu, barbarian, Don’t worry darling are other movies that had plot twist with high suspension.

               

               

Romance- This genre focuses on love, emotional connection, and relationships between characters. Most tend to have a romantic story about a male and female characters falling  in love in different ways. Romance narratives often center on emotional conflicts and using moments of tension to keep the audience engaged.  This genre has character growth between them and themselves. 

At the end of each romance, most of the time the resolution of the film is the couple together. Movies such as Crazy Rich Asians, To all the boys I’ve loved before, Love, Simon all have conflict between couples or character and an ending with each couple together but with lessons learned or conflict that had solutions. Romance whole point is to show a relationship forming with people.

      

                                      

Horror- A genre that’s creates fear, tension, and suspense. It’s like thriller but scarier because of jumps scares, gore, and darker setting to portray a more dangerous and unsafe surrounding. The genres strong emotional reactions are fear, anxiety, and shock. This genre could include real world fear, monster, and anything that is twisted in a dark scary plot like the Hatching and Mogadishu. Horror mainly focuses on the atmosphere and emotion. Dark setting, silence, suspenseful music, slow reveals, and jump scare. Blum house a successful horror company that produces horror film in different sub genre. I do like their way of making movies so this company I do find interest in and would inspire me to come up with a horror film that not to scary and gory.

                       

Final Genre

After doing all of this research on each genre I was considering. I have chosen to do horror. Me and my partner both agree on this and I personally thinks it's going to be a fun to produce.   I would like to film suspense into characters and portray a dark atmosphere while putting a bit up jump scares in it.Developing a more darker film opening will be tuff but with the information I have so far, I think I have a good summary of what key concepts would be needed and expected in the film.
