Genre decision blog

While researching various blogs informative details of each genre were discovered. We learned thrillers are often confused with horror main goal is to capture the gaze of the audience. To keep them interested and wanting more the climax is usually the main confrontation. It is most useless closeups and high or low angle shots to show the director's representation. Its use of pacing in thriller films is essential since it can drastically change the mood of a scene. 

The genre romance can be summarized as a journey following two characters through their lives and with each other. Most have a very happy ending, leaving the characters together and meeting their goal but that isn’t always the case. Romance films, mainly use color contrasting. Color contrasting can be set by sunsets or the use of candles bring an affectionate atmosphere to the film. 

When researching the genre of comedy, the challenge set for itself. With the numerous movies in this genre, it was difficult to see which technics were used throughout the movies. The use of flashbacks to build characters was a repeating theme. Non-diegetic sounds are often left in the films to give the audience their reactions to outside things.

After considering the several unique aspects each genre has our team has agreed on our genre being Thriller. This genre would work best with the concept of our opening sequence. After extensive research, I now know what editing, camera angles, and camera movements would be best for a thriller film. The research done for this genre will help create an authentic but professional film in the thriller genre. Our opening sequence will prioritize lighting, sound, and timing. Mostly we will use lowlight to make things looks more dim, mysterious, and scary. Regardless of researching other genres, our group felt the thriller genre would be best and I wholeheartedly agree.

Our reviewed film!

After a month of shooting, re-filming, and editing, the project is almost complete. We're relieved and grateful that the project is almost finished. For us, the entire process of making the film was pleasant. Although some areas, such as filming, proved to be more difficulty. Our schedule gave us the most trouble because everyone was so busy. We fixed it in the end and it worked perfectly. The initial planning, storyboarding, and filming were, in our opinion, the most enjoyable aspects of the project. It gave us a lot of creative liberties and allowed for fun. Here, everyone was free to express their ideas, and we all knew what to do. The editing, on the other hand, was not as straightforward. Unfortunately, the video could only fully be edited and assembled by one of our team members. The rest of us couldn't help as much but observe and tried our best with what our groupmate was doing. A re-evaluation of the writing and storyboard will be needed but will come another time. Thi...

Thriller is a genre that focuses on catching the audience's attention by inflicting suspense or anticipation. A commonly confused with the genre horror, the thriller genre is drastically different.
