Genre Blog

 


Me and my partner have decided our short film will be in the thriller genre. Thrillers are often hand in hand with horror in the fact that both can often leave you feeling anxious and uneasy. We chose to make our film in the thriller genre because I feel you get the best of different genres in one without having many of those genre's restrictions. You have the tension, suspense, and anxiety of a horror with the edge of the seat anticipation you'd get from an action movie. Overall its diverse and unique and we both feel it would be the most interesting genre to make our film in. We can use multiple different ideas and they still would not feel out of place in a thriller film.

We planned on getting some footage on the beach because we were playing volleyball and sports are a large part of fitness an...

The first scenes are split between the three of us. I need a sequence of me waking up early, preparing myself breakfast or a protein shake. I also need footage of me going for a morning jog. The overall plan isn't over complicated but the only issue is the time of day we want to shoot. We all agree that the dark of the night or early morning really fits the theme perfectly. In our video we are trying to translate the mindset of fitness and exercise. The mentality you need to be great. The music and the dark along with the message we're trying to convey. The mentality it takes has a certain intensity. It's almost as if there's a weight in your mind and you feel this drive to push yourself. It's a dark and sort of intense mindset but it is liberating at the same time. The issue with this and the...
