Film genre and sub-genre’s

These days there are a wide variety of different thrillers that work with many different genres’s making a film with a sub-genre.

Firstly thriller itself is a genre of film which is too creates suspense, tension and excitement all to make the audience be on the edge of their seat, just waiting to see what happens next. Thrillers are good at working with the audiences moods and can shape the audiences emotions in order to make that sudden surprise even more of a surprise!

The thriller genre is unique because it doesn’t constrict a film to have a basic outline or principle which means it can very easily fit in with almost all of the other genres. This also means they can have a number of sub genres. Sub genres is another genre mixed into the main genre and almost every film has them.

Examples are:

comedy thriller: 

thrillers which also have a funny side to them

kindergarten cop

action thriller

one of the most popular types

‘intime’

romance:

 he loves me, he loves me not

Mystery:

another very popular sub genre

 the usual suspect

From this research i can say that there are a lot of sub genres which caught my attention and that i would watch, but for our film opening personally I think that horror would be a very good sub genre to base it around. 

My reasons are because I feel that they can create tension and suspense very well, another reason is because it has a variety of target audiences including teenagers and horror is very popular. A horror thriller could be very fun to film and we could use a wide Variety of shots and effect and also be very creative. The horror I think would be a good example is the SAW franchise because it’s very popular and I believe we can mimic the atmosphere in the films.
