Research - Genres

 Since I chose the film opening the first thing I had to decipher which genres I wanted to do. I only had an idea of what I wanted to do so I referred to a list. (List of Genres) Out of that list I chose 3 genres: Horror, Fantasy, and Thriller. I chose genres that I felt drawn to and I could make the most out of.

The first genre I picked was Horror. I was the most interested in it due to my enjoyment of horror movies and when I had picked this brief my mind went immediately to the genre. I referred to different horror movie openings for an idea of what mine could be like. The first horror movies I thought of were Scream and It due to their very popular opening scenes. 

The second genre I picked was Fantasy I picked Fantasy because there is a lot of creative freedom with smaller boundries but to get the type of fantasy film I wanted to base my brief off of I looked at a fantasy movie list. Corpse Bride was the movie I wanted to be inspired by so i watched the opening scene to get an idea of what I could do if I ultimately picked the fantasy genre.

The last genre I decided on was the Thriller genre, it’s a lot like Horror which is why I looked into it. I also could not find any other genre I cared to do. I also did research on thriller movies as I did with the other genres using a list. With that list the movie I felt I could get ideas from was the Black Swan. I felt that movie captured the disturbing feeling of thrillers that do not rely on jumpscares or unnerving places.
