The genre we have selected are Thriller and Mystery, we have chosen these two genres for several reasons. The first reason is our preliminary exercise followed the genres of thriller and mystery and it turned out really well, and because we are sticking to the same genre we know exactly where we can improve and what to do differently. Although these are the two main genres we will be following, there are sub genres that we will be taking into consideration which are Drama and Disaster Thriller. Disaster thriller is where we create a mystery resolved around a disaster which doesn’t get explained until the end, similar to Cloverfield where we do not actually see the monster until the end. Drama thriller is all about creating plot twists in the movie; it will be hard to implant this genre in our opening sequence as we have two minutes, so it will be hard to implant a plot twist into it.
We are going to aim this opening sequence at a target audience of 16 – 30 mostly because we are in that age bracket so we will be able to decide whether potential viewers will like something or not. Our main character will be a young male adult, we have chosen a young adult so that the audience can relate and can picture themselves in the opening sequence.
