Genres, Genres, and More Genres

Choosing the genre for the film opening will probably be one of the hardest decisions of this whole process. The genre will decide what the story will plan out to be, how we decide to film, and what techniques are utilized. My partner and I have no decided which genre we want to chose for our opening, but we have narrowed it down to three choices. We have chose horror/thriller, coming of age, and fantasy because these are the genres of movies that we enjoy watching the most.


Scream (1996)
Horror/Thriller
Call Me By Your Name (2017)
Coming of Age
The Hunger Games (2012)
Fantasy

The genre of a movie will greatly impact what the opening of the movie may focus on. For example, in a horror movie, the opening would work on developing a sense of mystery about what the main protagonist is. In coming of age films, the opening usually focuses on introducing the character and developing their personality. In fantasy films, the opening tries to establish the setting or explain the backstory of the world that the movie is taking place in. 

Me and my partner will continue to discuss which genre would would like to pick, We will evaluate the pros and cons of the three genres we selected and decided which one we would be able to make the best opening for. Talk to you guys later when we have made our decision!
