R+P Post 6: Our chosen genre and how we plan to connote this

Our chosen genre is action, with a thriller sub-genre. We chose these as they are universally very appealing genres to most people, for example many family Disney films, such as Big Hero 6, would fall under the action category. We then took inspiration from films such as those in the James Bond series and also the film The Usual Suspects. Our film opening did begin to take a more abstract style though, we planned to have very dark surroundings around the table, this would create a detached, artistic style, similar to some films such as The Knife That Killed Me.

To create a strong appeal to the audience, we needed to clearly convey our film's genre to the audience. For this reason we will include an action sequence at the end of our opening, using conventional methods, such as tense, fast-paced music, and quick montage editing. This sequence will show two characters will be shot. The dialogue and dark atmosphere will help to increase the tension and suspension of the scene. This structure will be quite similar to the opening of Casino Royale.
