Genre research

As a group, we researched 3 specific genres we were interested in using. The first genre of epic, Reese and I researched for a prior activity. We didn’t think this fit our ideas very well because we only had one idea that wasn’t a horror film and it was more of an action. The second one was drama, which Lucy and James had researched for the project before. I thought the drama genre could be a potential option to use for our film but we thought of one more that might change our minds. This was the thriller genre. We all unanimously decided to pick thriller as our genre. This was because of our interest in the genre from our favorite movies to the enjoyment in the project. However, once we picked the idea of a scary film we had to choose between horror and thriller. At first, we did not know the difference between the two until we had researched the two genres. The horror genre was more gory and violent while thriller is psychological and sneaky. Since our idea had to do with a stalker we decided that the thriller genre better fit our idea.
