Planning Genres

Horror



This is an example of the kind of horror film I would like to make if I chose this genre for my film opening. I like the idea of things jumping out to make the audience jump, and would like to experiment with this in my opening. I can also see how the lighting is dull throughout the trailer which relates to the genre of horror. I would use this same lighting if i were to choose the genre of horror for my opening. 


Thriller




I noticed in this trailer the editing is very quick and the lighting is very dull and there is a lot of shadow. If I were to make a thriller opening I would use all of this in my opening in order to create suspense. 

Action




After watching a few action film openings and trailers, I do not think an action film opening would be my first choice. This is because I realised in most of them, the cutting is very quick and a lot of action is already happening just in the opening 2 minutes. I think this would be difficult to do at a good quality.
