Choosing A Genre

Having done research into a variety of different genres, we are at a point where we must identify which genre most suits us and will allow us to produce the highest standard promotional package. Through discussing the different genres we have decided on two which we like the most, there are some advantages and disadvantages to choosing these.

HORROR

ADVANTAGES                                                            DISADVANTAGES
- interesting to film                                                  - hard to film at night
- can be original                                                       - need an effective storyline
- exciting experiments                                              - genre is repetitive
                                                                               
SOCIAL REALISM

ADVANTAGES                                                            DISADVANTAGES
- we are the target audience                                     - very specific conventions
- generally easy to film                                             -  need to be original
- storyline will appeal to us
- can be simple and effective
- usually produced on low budget

After discussing the benefits and problems of each we have, as a group decided that for us, Social Realism is the most appropriate genre which we all feel we would like to research and work with further.
