17) Genre shortlist

I am considering making a title sequence from the following genres:

Horror

If my group decided to film a horror title sequence I would imagine it to be exciting as I know that we would focus on a different aspect; which would not consist of acting, but the actions of the attacker through camerawork. Additionally, we would not act in this genre because the main characters are usually added 25 and above.I believe that this genre is quite easy to recreate because of the locations which are easy to find in the city. props would be at an easy access because of Halloween season.

Thriller

Making a title sequence from  the thriller genre would be a little more challenging than a horror because the conventions are not as obvious as technical things like lighting, editing and music which would make it more distinctive. Yet again, London has many locations which could be useful in assisting the audience in identifying the genre as thrillers usually include busy cities.

Teen slasher

Teen slasher is a sub-genre of a horror movie but has its own distinctive differences. They usually include a lot of blood, gore (guts and body pieces coming off) and violence. The main settings are usually school based, the woods or a haunted house.  If my group was to consider acting in the title sequence a teen slasher would be very suitable as the main characters are usually teenagers. this is because it include stereotypical conventions of a horror movie. As my group consists of teenagers, this means that they ould be 'suitable' to star and act in the movie.
