Hi guys!! So I met with my group today and we changed our plan up a little bit. As we came up with our final idea for our film opening, we decided that it would fall into more of the thriller genre than the horror. With that being said, I immediately began my research on the thriller genre.
This is what I found:
Thriller genre is usually gives the viewer the feeling of suspense, excitement, anticipation and anxiety. Thrillers aim to keep the audience at the edge of their seats as they get closer to the climax of the film. They often use many plot twists and cliff hangers which involve personal obstacles one must overcome.
According to a blog I found, Scribbling On The Computer by Katherine Roid, subgenres within thriller include action thriller, conspiracy thriller, crime thriller, disaster thriller, eco-thriller, forensic thriller, legal thriller, medical thriller, mystery thriller, political thriller, psychological thriller (which my group and I plan on doing), religious thriller, romantic thriller, spy thriller, supernatural thriller and techno-thriller.
We plan on doing a psychological thriller because it includes mental conflict within a character which we plan on achieving. We choose to do a psychological thriller by showing the mental conflict within the head of our main character, a male, who sees symbols of death as he is coping with a death. It may not make complete sense hearing a portion of it, but I promise its going to make sense when I go more into depth in my next couple posts.
My group and I are working on more of the details and going to sketch out our storyboard once we decide on some more details in which we don’t completely agree on such as the props we plan on using and the locations for filming.
Thank you for stopping by! I’ll be back with more details tomorrow ((:
