Our chosen genre

In our group the first thing we decided on was the type of genre we would use.

We disscused in our group what our favourite type of films were, what films we had watched and finally decided on thriller. The reason we decided on thriller was because we all liked these type of films, we would be at an advantage.

Thrillers are movies which can be fast paced, exciting, suspenseful, and give the audience a feeling of tension, anxiety and generally keep them on the edge of there seats.

Sub-genres

Action Thriller:
These films are usually fast paced with a reasonable amount of violence. An example of a action thriller is Taken (2008)



Crime Thrillers:
These films often focus on the criminals rather than the police. An example of a crime thriller is The Fugitive 1993



Disaster Thrillers:
These films are usually based around natural or artificial disasters for example tornados. An example of a disaster thriller is The Day After Tomorrow



Legal Thrillers:
This is when the legal heros not only tackle the criminals inside court but also out of court. An example of a legal thriller is A Time To Kill



Psychological Thrillers:
This is when the film not only focuses on violence but on emotional and psychological issues.
An example of psychological thriller is Sixth Sense



After choosing our chosen genre, we were then able to take the next step in our film making process and start to make a start on our treatment.
