Meeting One

During meeting one we discussed different genre types and thought about which genre we should choose for our product. We talked about doing a comedy with influences such as Dodgeball, Anchorman and Little Miss Sunshine. However we decided not to do comedy as we thought it may be too difficult to introduce the film as a comedy in just the opening sequence. So then we looked at horrors and thrillers instead, this is because it is much easier to create the atmosphere of a horror or thriller in an opening scene than for a comedy. This is because simple things such as music, lighting and the pace can easily be used create a darker mood also there are plenty of icons that hint at these genres; such as blood, candlelight, knives, weapons, darkness, and eerie music. So we decided upon doing a thriller, because we believed we would be able to create a believable atmosphere for our opening sequence.
