Within the past few lessons of Media, my partner and I have researched about the different ranges of genre which we could do. After researching, we found several different kinds of genres that we could choose from. We began the research by making a list of the genres we know, afterwards we narrowed it down by explaining and discussing what genres wouldn't work as we have a limited time to film, limited lighting, unpredictable weather etc. which helped us well because we was also considering a variety of places which our coursework could take place. We was finally left with 3 genres to pick from. We was unable to decide this, so we done more research to what the typical events are that occur in each genre. This helped as we also have an idea of the type of film we could make it which allows us to set out the planning in an organised way. The final genre we picked was Thriller due to the range of routes we could take in the film because thrillers can be done in different ways such as psychological etc. we then picked 4 films to watch trailers about, these four films were; Butterfly Effect, Panic Button, Gone and Taken. These were choosen as they are films which have different effects on people and different storylines to them which attracts the veiwers and make them want to know what happens and draw them in as it would make the film better as theres no idea as to what happens between the parts that are not shown and the ending is always left in a mysterious mannor as some have quick ahots of the end whereas some just show the way the character acts and who they are without giving away the ending or the storyline causing the target audience to want to see the film more eagerly.
