Chosen Film Genre

After narrowing it down to either drama or thriller we decided to base our film on a thriller genre. We didn't pick drama as although it was something we'd be able to produce, most dramas aren't appealing to an audience of my age. However thriller films are widely popular, not just for my age but for older audiences too. It is also linked to a large variety of sub-genres making it a good choice as we are more open to different elements within sub-genres, this will help our film be unique therefore more interesting and successful.
The conventions of a thriller film vary along with the different sub-genres, however there's certain things which remain similar. For instance they are often based in cities or the suburbs around a city, the main character finds them in a situation which seems impossible to escape from which normally threatens their life. After deciding on the genre for our main task, we started to look at examples of thriller films. We'll make comparisons and decide what we might like to include in our main task.
