Decision on genre (mori)

Over the last few days me and Aaron have been working hard on developing ideas and what type of film that we could develop a good trailer for. So we started to look at trailers of different genres. After looking closely at romance, horror, thriller and action we decided that a mixed genre would benefit us best as our film could target a wider market and therefore make a larger profit.   thought that romance would be fairly difficult with the resources that we have available to us, to create a good romance movie you usually need comedy which in turn requires at least a good pair of actors, which are hard to come by. A teen romance may be easier to do but it does not interest a large range of audiences, in fact it cuts off almost the whole of the adult market which would mean that it would be very hard to make the film successful unless it was a first rate film with a great advertising campaign. Horror and action would also be fairly difficult to do as most of the trailers for films of these genre's show some of the best bits which generally include expensive scenes with make up for dead bodies or special      effects for an explosion, we decided very quickly that this would simply be too difficult for us to do with our low budget and our limited time frame. We then started to think of genres which incorporated romance with action and mystery, we thought that although action will be difficult this type of film wouldn't require any special effects it would be more thrilling action. Also with these three genres in one film the potential market expands by a great deal meaning more chance for 'bottoms on seats' so to speak and therefore more chance for profit. The reason we added mystery into the films overall genre is because we think that it will set us apart from other films that are single track minded, it will help our film to develop a strong storyline and excite many more people. 

After having chosen this genre we started to make the storyline which Aaron will post on the blog.
