Genre Decision: Drama


For our short film, we came to the conclusion that we will be focusing around the dramatic genre. We agreed that this would be the best option for our genre based on the storyline. The dramatic genre is one of the most versatile genres that focuses around storytelling, character development, and emotional depth. We plan for our film to evoke emotion in the viewers and keep them hooked. There are also plenty of sub-genres within the dramatic genre that we plan to include in our film. Some of these sub-genres include comedy and romance.

This theme is mostly revolved around what we are doing.  The movie has a lot of abandoned sets, dark lighting, gore, weapon props, etc, which similarly explains the idea for our final task.  2. What elements (Conventions) of the genre did the movie have that you like? I loved how it was comparing the new age to the old age.
