About our chosen genre.

For our main task we have chosen do do a Thriller. We felt this was a good one to chose because it is quite a broad genre therefore our storyline would not be too limited. Thrillers are characterized by fast pacing, frequent action, we have chosen to do this but also have some slow paced takes to build up tension and create binary opposition between our two characters (in which one is a male the other female). We have also chosen to add a cliffhanger in at the end of our two minutes to conform to the genre.

We have had influences from some Thriller films such as Psycho. For example we have a small shower scene. In Psycho this was the film's pivotal scene, and one of the most famous scenes in cinema history. All though this is not a huge part of our film opening and is not pivotal, it still demonstrates the genre we are conforming to.
Our film also includes quite a stereotypical follwing scene which appears in many thrillers.
