GENRES!
In the process of planning our final piece we were uncertain of what genre we wanted to do so we decided to map out all our possibilities and look at them logically. We decided to go with the sub-genre of horror/drama we did this as looking at films within the other genres there were certain typical codes and conventions that we would of massively struggled to do.
problems we would have:
1. Comedy - its proven to be very hard to actually make something funny, people have different senses of humour and if it didn't appeal to our demographic we would have to start from scratch!
2. Science Fiction - there is a massive budget for science fiction films as special effects is such a large part of it ( because monsters aren't real...) and we just don't have that sort of money to get it all together or the facilities or even the editing equipment.
3. Romance - as this is only an AS project our actors won't be professionals, they'd be amateur actors most likely just friends! and we didn't think that they would take their roles seriously enough to actually convince the audience that they were 'in love' with another character so we would of ended up having to waste a lot of time trying over and over to get their acting on point!
4. Social realism - this genre was a possibility as it would of been within our budget and as its based upon real lives and is filmed almost in a documentary kind of style we would of had the facilities BUT we didn't feel like it would be as exciting as a horror drama film opening.
