Our final choice

 After we have researched and thought about the three different genres we have come to a conclusion. Our conclusion is that thriller will work best for us. We had compare the pros and cons between the three and thriller came out with only one major con.

The only con for thriller was the setting. Typically, thrillers are filmed in locations that are scary and suspenseful, we may not be able to achieve this effect. Simply because of the fact that we are high school students which limits accessibility and safety to remote locations. Similarly, horror has the same problem but to a more extreme. The biggest difference between horror and thriller, is that horror is far more gory which is why a secluded area is needed to not disturb passing civilians. While with drama, the genre is too character center which would complicate things. Horror would also suffer the same consquences since it would be very difficult to try to explain and film a murder scene within the two minute introduction scene. 

The pros for thrillers also outweigh the pros for horror and drama. The biggest pros with both drama and horror is the atmosphere they create. They both create two drastic atmospheres yet make the same effect of making the watcher sit on the edge of their chairs. However their pros do not outweigh thriller’s pro. Thriller’s pro is the use of sound, angles and lighting to make the genre come to life. 

To us, this pro is deemed very important. Our past assignments we had only used basic music and basic sunlight. Along with only including angles that were demanded of us. We believe that the opportunity to explore different techniques with sound, edits and camera angles will bring our media journey to a successful conclusion. We wish for our final task to be one of the best we will create in our high school career.
