Final Genre Decision

 After a long discussion with my group, we finally have decided what genre we want to utilize to create our opening sequence. We decided to use the thriller genre as it makes the most sense with our pitch and is a completely new spin on the way we have been filming and editing up until now.

We picked the thriller genre as it made the most sense and felt that it synergized best with the pitch we chose. High quality thriller movies also don't require expensive sets or extreme props, they can be done with basic editing software and cameras and can still come out entertaining and terrifying. This meant we had more freedom with our budget to put towards costumes and other mis-en-scene to make our film better. Also I enjoy watching thriller movies as they make the audience feel terrified but forced to watch which is a sensation I would love to try and replicate with our opening sequence. Thriller movies also allow a lot of freedom with the fonts available in title scenes and allow for a broader use of interesting props like fake blood or retractable knives. Thriller movies are highly versatile and one of the most popular movie genres in the world, in the U.S alone thriller movies generate 20.35 billion dollars. All these components of thriller films highly motivated us to pick this genre over action and horror.
