Genre Decision Blog

 

    After some tough decisions with my group, we have finally decided on making our pitch a thriller movie! At first, we wanted to do a romance genre, but there were some complications. Mainly we would need a love interest and this genre does require a lot of emotionally packed acting. The essence of a romance film lies in the intricacies of relationships, the emotional rollercoaster, and the chemistry between characters. However, with a limited timeframe of two minutes, capturing the depth required for a compelling love story seemed daunting. Then we looked into comedy which was our close second choice. Effective comedy often relies on context, buildup, and timing elements that demand more time than our project allowed. After proper discussion we decided that thrillers easily captivate people with their eerie ambiance so we know this is definitely achievable in two minutes. This genre has so much room for us to express our creativity and really create an uncanny piece. By choosing to pursue thriller as our genre, we feel confident in utilizing the genre's advantages to craft a story that is both mysterious but also coherent.
