Genre is a category of artistic composition marked by a distinctive style, form, or content. This can range from music, books, art but in this case, film. For example, within a film genre, there are: thrillers, comedy, family, suspense, adventure, etc. A sub-genre is a genre within a genre - a genre is broken down. An example of this, are sub-genres of thrillers, which we are currently studying: political, crime, action, horror, etc.
The thriller sub-genre which inspires my group for our own film opening is the horror thriller sub-genre. We, as a group, have a lot of ideas for this sub-genre as most thrillers are horror. Also, as teenagers, we are most likely to watch horror thriller rather than political or sci-fi thrillers because of the excitement generated by the film and the satisfying resolution found at the end.
This is a clip from the film Psycho (1960), which is the most famous scene in the history of, not just horror movies, but in film in general. All four key aspects have been used clearly in the scene and other movies get inspirations and influences from this scene - just like we are. We would like to interpret some of the key technical areas (camera, mise en scene, editing and sound) in the scene in to our opening .
