Why we chose our genre

Nathan

We chose our genre because we thought that it would be a different one from the previous film openings created. We chose the crime thriller genre as we had an initial idea to do an investigation of a murder in our film, therefore we thought that a crime thriller would be a genre to base our film opening around.

Crime genre - Crime fiction id the literary genre that fictionalises crimes, their detection, criminals, and their motives. It is usually distinguished from mainstream fiction and other genres such as historical fiction or science fiction, but the boundaries are indistinct.

Thriller genre - Thriller is a broad genre of literature, film and television, having a numerous subgenres. Thrillers are characterized and defined by the moods they elicit, giving viewers heightened feelings of suspense, excitement, surprise, anticipation and anxiety. Successful examples of thrillers are the films of Alfred Hitchcock.

Therefore we chose to combine these two genres as we initially thought of having an investigation as the main narrative therefore we decided to use the crime genre. The thriller genre however, came from the suspense and tension we were planning on building in our opening scene therefore we decided to use this genre as well.
