Genre Research: Birdbox

  To do more research on the Thriller genre, we watched the movie Birdbox. Birdbox is a horror, post-apocalyptic thriller that follows a woman as she struggles to find refuge for herself and her children away from an unknown entity who kills people when they look at it. Overall, the film was good with a compelling storyline that made you want to keep watching. The film used many elements usually found in the thriller genre, like for example, close-up shots. The movie used many close-up shots to display the character’s emotions and create a dramatic effect. The characters also all wore clothing with very dark and muted colors, and a large part of the film had low-key lighting to create shadows and build suspense. Many shots were over-the-shoulder shots to maintain a close up as the characters were talking, and many high angles to make the characters seem small and helpless against the entity.

Genre Research: Premonition

This choice in shot allowed the audience to clearly see what the main character’s reaction was to those events, how the other characters may have reacted to the main character’s reaction, and vice versa. The high angle used, in particular...

Genre Decision: Thriller

We began our decision of the type of genre our final task would be in by looking at a list of the types of genres there are in film. After researching each genre, we then eliminated the genres that our film couldn’t be, or what we didn’t want it to be. The possible genres we decided on were drama, thriller, and horror. Once those possible genres were selected, we brainstormed and explored what the plot of our movie would be within those genres. We tried to visualize how our project would turn out, depending on the genre we picked, and how much we would like the idea of our plot within the specific genre. If our final task was within the drama genre, we thought that our movie could include love or the main character growing closer to a family member/friend. We quickly decided that we did not want our final task to take this turn and, instead, focused on the horror and thriller genres. Although we had already created blogs on both genres, we decided to delve deeper into what the genres w...
