Recap of the week (Choosing Genre)

Since my team and I have a love for thrillers we have settled on a movie that is a thriller with a sub-genre of coming of age.

Even though this decision came easily, there was a lot of elimination. The action genre felt too hard to shoot and capture the essence of action since that is a lot of movement. Drama was a genre we weren't confident we could shoot to make sense.

Horror was a genre that we stopped to talk about for a second and created ideas for but as time progressed and more ideas were thrown out our film developed and had a thriller feel to it. Romance was a genre film that we all agreed on that we knew we would not do almost immediately just because of a common interest in romance not being our favorite genre.

Lastly, comedy was also a genre we talked about but because it was also a highly rated genre on the movie scale but we felt we wouldn't be funny enough so that idea

Discussion on genres and sub-genres

 Tropes are things that are specific to certain types of genres. To understand tropes we have to understand what genres are.  According to StudioBinder genre can be defined as "categories where a particular movie can be placed based on the setting, characters, plot, mood, tone, and theme."  Genres also have sub-genres, which are "smaller category that fits inside a particular genre" Overall the combination of genres and sub-genres allows for the overall combination of a great film.
