Initial Ideas

During last week we had to research different types of genres and analyse each one with the pros and cons. We then had to think of ideas for our final piece. So, here is the pros and cons of different genres...

The pros and cons for Horror are:

• It's effective and creates a sense of apprehension within the audience.
• It grabs the attention of the viewer and makes them want to watch MORE!
• Quite hard to achieve a good grade :(
• It's hard not to copy ideas from other films leaving it unoriginal and predictable!

The pros and cons for Rom Com are:

• You don't need too many actors to make an effective opening sequence.
• There are always new ideas that you can use!
• Finding a good looking actor that will help us!

The pros and cons for Tear Jerkers are:

• You can use real life events that happen to you or in the media (newspapers, magazines or documentaries)
• You know that you would appeal to the female audience as every women loves a good tear jerker! :'(
• The fact that you might not get people crying = FAIL OF A FILM!
• Thinking of the right storyline, actors, setting, script and name is really hard! :/

From these, the pros and cons of each genre we have looked at, we have come up with some storyline ideas! You can read about them in my next post! See you soon!
