Preliminary Task: Genre

The genre that we have chosen to do is crime. This is because we wanted our genre to be a bit more unique compared to the cliche genres that are being used at the moment. This we feel is a good idea for the location we have chosen because of the lighting and location atmosphere. We want to make the location dark and plain like the genre of crime/thrillers, this means we have to do less work in order to make the it look good.

We've done some research into the genre that we are doing which is crime. We found that corridors and small rooms are good for crime scenes and movies due to small rooms being linked to interrogation rooms that are in police stations or even cells that prisoners stay in. The dark, spooky atmosphere adds the tension to the crime genre because less can be seen and it makes the audience think what might be going on or if a characters face is in the shadow it may draw the audience in because they want to know who that person is or what involvement they have in the movie/subject.

The camera angles we wanted to use also fit the genre because they are not fast paced, they move fairly slowly which adds to the tension that thrillers have and the camera angles are good because we get up close shots of the characters which can show their facial expressions which is good because the audience can figure out which characters are good and which are bad based on the camera angles and the facial expresses.
