Brainstorming

 

    My partner and I began exploring the many different genre options, and the positives and negatives to each of them. A few genres that stuck out to us as we began researching included, horror, thrillers, science fiction, and romance. Aden and I believe those 4 options would be the most interesting and exciting to create for the short film. We wanted to take into consideration the different elements of film available. (Mis en scene, transitions, editing, storyline, etc.) 

    Immediately I was interested in horror because of different mis en scene, storyline, and angle options that we could create. For me there was many different was you can take horror in a creativity perspective which is why it is a top candidate for us. Both Aden and I found thrillers very intriguing given that we could be similar to horror but have a more options for the storyline. Crossing over genres also being an option for us. Another option Aden and I took into consideration was science fiction we quickly discarded this option thinking about budget and resources to make this short film. It simply was not feasible to make this genre. Lastly, we considered romance, this idea was discarded because of the issues regarding the storyline and what we would create from that genre. Thus, we narrowed down our choices to thriller and a horror film.
