AS Film Brief

The genre that we have chose is Thriller as we thought it would be the most suitable for many reasons. The overall aim for this is to create a the opening of a thriller in 2 mins and have a full list of titles involved as well. We are allowed to do anything as long as it matches the genre and criteria that we are given.

Advantages 

When creating a thriller the locations can almost be in the most basic of locations which is good for creating.

The cost of a thriller is pretty much nothing as you can use simple locations like explained above and costumes can be made and props can be everyday items.

You don't have to worry about making certain parts of the final product fit the genre such as romance you have to have a couple falling in love but with thriller you can make it fit everyone's taste.

Disadvantages

If you cant make enough suspense in the short time frame you have you can say that you have created a unintended effect on the viewer.

The reason why we didn't pick a different genre?
We could have chose comedy but when it comes down to it a comedy has to be done very well for it to be successful. Not everyone has the same sense of humour and if people don't find it funny then you have not created a comedy.
We could have chose Sc-Fi but due to us being such a small company it would be impossible to have the CGI that you need. All Sc-Fi films have CGI involved in then, if they don't use it then it is not as successful as it could have been.
