Genre Research: Decision

Genre Decision-

For our opening sequence of the final task, our group decided to use the drama genre, because it allows us to create an emotional and realistic story. We want our audience to have a connection with the characters straight away. The drama genre focuses strongly on character development, which is a very strong match for our idea. This genre allows us to show emotions through our character's dialogue, facial expressions, and body language. We were inspired by drama films that use close-up shots to show feelings of characters. The genre also supports serious and meaningful themes which we would like to implement. Compared to the other genres we have researched, drama felt more relatable and believable. Our group felt confident using drama conventions, for example, the natural lighting and realistic settings. This genre gives us more freedom to focus on storytelling rather than special effects. Overall, choosing drama will help us create a strong and engaging opening sequence.

This pitch is realistic to film and allows for creativity with camera angles, pacing, music, and meaningful dialogue. Pitch 2: The movie begins with an action sequence wh...
