Planning Genres

Sci-fi

The maze runner and hunger games are sci-fi films, I think sci-fis are good examples of films that create tension, they also give the film some mystery because something unusual is going to happen. I would like to study sic-fis however I think it would be difficult to create a sci-fi film opening as they are often set in very extreme environments.

Horror

This is an example of a horror film, I like horror films because they draw the viewer in and make them want to watch for longer. Personally I feel that once I have started watching a horror film, I can’t stop watching until the end to find out the twist. Horrors are also well put together, for example, the producers will have made it so you don’t find out the big secret until towards the end or something dramatic towards the end, I think this is done to intrigued the viewer. This can sometimes be very difficult to do as if nothing happens through the film, people may become bored so the producers need to make sure the viewer will stay interested by keeping the balance of action throughout the film and the big twist/action towards the end. I think a film opening on horror would be very easy because you can include lots of interesting short clips, you can also make the titles very interesting and the music can be a variety of styles, you could go for typical horror music, something more upbeat which would make the film slightly cynical or something beginning off calm which would build tension.

Romance 

This is a romance film opening, in a romance film opening you need something very sweet and cute to happen, it needs to be a big event and in a few examples I have watched, someone proposes or they meet the ‘love of their life’. This makes the viewer want to watch more because they want to know the outcome of what’s happening. This type of film is often aimed at teenage girls because they will want to watch and hope these things happen to them. I think making a romance film opening would be very difficult as you would have to think of a very cute idea, find people to play the roles in the film, and find music that would fit in well with the story.

In conclusion I would like to make a film opening for a horror. I think this will be the most interesting and accomplishing task to do. I have already began to think of ideas for a horror and think these will be very well put into the film opening.
