So this is where its all going to start but for any of us to even start thinking about what we are going to to for the 2 minute opening we going to have to decide what type of genre to follow. So...instead of arguing about which one to do we all decided to pick a genre and research it and pick one that has everyone favours..simple really.
I picked thriller and below is the definition of the actual genre.
A classic standalone thriller is a film that provides the viewer thrills and keeps the audience at a cliff – hanging situation. Thriller as it unfolds…The tension usually arises when the character is placed in a menacing situation, a mystery, or a trap from which escaping seems impossible. Life is threatened, usually because the principal character is unsuspectingly or unknowingly involved in a dangerous situation
Thriller is a genre that uses suspense, tension and excitement as the main elements, there are many different subgenres but the main ones are mystery, crime and psychological thrillers. Most thrillers will keep important information hidden until the very end and will distract the viewer by having chases or fight scenes, although each subgenre has their own characteristic and method the most common methods for crime thrillers are mainly ransoms, kidnappings and revenge. Whereas mystery thrillers have more investigations. But psychological thrillers are more based on mind games, stalking and obsessions.
