Planning Genre

Thriller


Thriller is one of the most interesting genres of film as the audience is able to be taken through a journey of many levels to tell a compelling story. This genre typically surprises audiences as it features twists and dramatic plot points that can completely change the flow of the film or make audiences ponder and question at the different possibilities of the story and the outcome.

  comedy



Comedy is one of the most famous and interesting genres when done correctly. Comedy can be appealing to audiences of all ages and through different settings and character types. I chose The Breakfast Club as an example because it features as a comedy while also taking the audience on an emotional ride with some hard hitting moments and conversations.

Sci-fi



Sci-fi is an interesting genre to think about as there are many ways to define it. You could go from a film with all out action and space craft with amazing cgi, to a compelling grounded story that has  completely different pacing. I chose Donnie Darko as an example because it is not only a great sic-fi film, but a great psychological film. Audiences are forced to wrap their heads around this film, completely enrapturing the audiences attention through an interesting and well acted film that will cause audiences to question their understanding of the film after multiple viewings.
