Genre Decision - Opening Sequence

-

So far, Jaydon and I have settled on the pitch for the opening sequence project, and have researched three genres related to our production. It's now time to make a decision on what genre our film falls under.

Final Genre

After reviewing the three genres, we've considered that our film falls under... *commence drumroll*
THRILLER!

The genre was chosen since our pitch: "Customer buys smart devices at a mall and somehow becomes a part of a botnet" can adapt to the wide versatility of this genre. The use of foreground diegetic sound effects, dramatic music, storyline escalation, purpose-made costumes, and intense acting will most likely make up what will eventually be our final product. Just like how action films use wide-angle and close-up shots, we will most certainly be utilizing those shots in our opening sequence.

That's all for now! For the next three blogs, Jaydon and I will be reviewing movies that fit this genre in some way.

However, after looking around, we were told that due to possible administrative conflicts with our church, this location would not be suitable for us to conduct our filming. However, another altern...
