My Genre Choice

I chose thriller as a genre choice for my film because I personally do enjoy watching thriller films in my own time. As thriller is a genre that often merges or includes other themes it gives thriller films more diversity so there is a wide range of differences between each films. There is more choice as what type of thriller film to watch but the main codes and conventions do stay the same. Thriller is the most notifyable film to have sub - genres so audiences are usually not disappointed in what they view this also may include other themes that may be viewed in other genres too.. Supense is usually high and red herrings or cliff hangers used extensively this all adds to the tensions composed successfully in thriller films.

Role Allocation

For my fiction film I am working on my own and so this means I will be doing all the roles and work for my production.

Writer/Director/Cameraperson/Editor = Shanola May - Fuller
