Summary Of Chosen Genre

Summary Of Chosen Genre

We chose the thriller/horror genre for a number of reasons, one reason is that it’s easier to get props/resources needed such as costumes/make up, and because we have watched lots of horrors and have developed an understanding of what makes a good horror/thriller movie we can use this understading and put it in our film opening.

We also have locations local to us that are suitable for the horror/thriller genre but if we shot an action film there it wouldn’t look right and we need to ensure everything we do is suitable for the genre we choose.

we also chose horror because its an interesting genre and is very popular with movies such as saw, paranormal activity ad freddy vs jason, so we could gain ideas from watchig openings of films like this.

Our second choice was action and the reason we never chose this genre was because its oo unrealistic

and from the ideas we had we wouldn’t have the resources needed to film the clip. Our idea consisted of police chases, robberies, explosions and gun shootings which we cannot do because we cant get the props and we dont have a budget to spend.

Somebody Help Me 2 Opening

First off we hear some sinister music which hints to the audience the genre of the movie, which is horror/thriller. After a few seconds of this music we start to hear sounds behind the music, we hear water drops and quiet bangs, and a little girl giggle this again lets the audience know that the genre of the movie is horror/thriller.

We next see a close up of a girl, she has a bandage around where her eyes were but she doesn't have eyes, to the audience she is dead and she is perhaps a ghost now, this emphasises the fact of the film being a horror/thriller.

We hear the girl singing a song, but the actual song and the way she sings it is quite scary and this is what attracts the audience to watch it especially when they see it on the trailer they want to go and watch it when it comes out in the cinema. Next we hear synchronus sounds of footsteps where we then see a man walking down a corridor, the place looks quite empty, perhaps its an old broken down building.
