Genre Decision

We’ve concluded on the thriller genre for our opening sequence, after long-awaited talks with my group mates. This choice works perfectly for two different reasons, like giving a new perspective in filming and editing. The other reason is that it aligns seamlessly with our pitch. Opting for the thriller genre not only aligns perfectly with our pitch it also comes with a lot of advantages. Thriller films of high quality can be achieved without the need for extravagant sets or elaborate props. Basic editing software and cameras prove sufficient, offering both entertainment and a sense of terror. This decision grants us budgetary flexibility, directing funds toward enhancing costumes and mise-en-scene for an improved film. My admiration for suspense movies, particularly their capacity to both frighten and captivate viewers, motivates me to attempt to evoke the same emotion in our opening sequence. The genre's adaptability also extends to the title scenes, where a variety of font selections and the use of intriguing accessories like retractable knives or fake blood are permitted. Known for their diversity, thrillers are among the most popular genres worldwide and generate significant revenues, with the United States recording $20.35 billion in thrillers. We decided on the thriller genre instead of the thriller and horror genre because of these intriguing features.
