Genre Decision Blog

  As a group, we decided to choose the action genre. This will be the best fit for our pitch. It also is the main genre that makes sense for our topic. Since the pitch is based on the kidnapping of the president we need a genre that will be able to capture this feeling. All the genres that we researched could be slightly added to our movie introduction. For example, some of the tension-building techniques could be used in the buildup of the kidnapping like using a high angle to show when the president may be vulnerable. Some of the comedic relief factors include dialogue between characters. Also making many other genres included will defiantly make it more entertaining. Having multiple smaller genres will please more people. Their mis-en-scene will also impact our pitch idea. All of this could cause the introduction to become confusing. Action is by far the most relative genre to our pitch. Action also tends to be fast-paced with some new crazy thing happening each cut. This perfectly meets our goal to keep every second of our film to be active. Action also is our best fit as all the other aspects of a action-packed film. For example, camera movement as its usually always at a low or mid angles which is what we plan to use. The sound we also work as we would do high pace music to fit the action scenes. Editing would also be easy as there would not need to be much as action is usually a bunch of cuts. Genres like comedy and thriller are usable for the type of film we are doing but they just don't fit as well. It would be a lot better to incorporate a small use of each genre.
