Choosing a Genre

    Hey blog, after conducting some research on different genres in film, I've made up my mind that I want to do thriller!

    First and foremost, thrillers have the ability to captivate audiences from the opening. Iconic openings like the heist sequence in "Ocean's Eleven" or the prologue of "The Silence of the Lambs." These films grab viewers attention and refuse to let go, setting them up for an unforgettable viewing experience. By choosing a thriller, I aim to hook my audience from the very first frame.

    Another reason I'm drawn to the thriller genre is its versatility. Whether it's a psychological thriller like "Gone Girl," a conspiracy-driven narrative like "The Bourne Identity," or an action thriller like "Mad Max: Fury Road," there's something for everyone within the wide variety that is thriller. This flexibility allows me to explore a wide range of themes, tones, and storytelling techniques, ensuring that my two-minute opening leaves a lasting impression on viewers.

    The thriller genre offers a large margin of storytelling possibilities, from its ability to captivate audiences to its boundless creativity and suspense. By choosing to embrace the thrill, I'm confident that my film opening will leave a lasting impact and set the stage for an unforgettable cinematic journey.
