Our Genre

I think it is very obvious from our pitches but we decided on a thriller.  We wanted to do something that’d be anxiety inducing. We wanted it to also be fun as well and I think with how the ideas are looking for how to execute it, this will be the best genre for us!

Genre Research: Sad Drama (Girl Interrupted)

In sad dramas, camera angles often reflect the emotional tone. Close-ups on characters faces capture the depth of their emotions. Slow, deliberate camera movements and long takes may be used to enhance the somber atmosphere. Wide shots may emphasize isolation or the weight of the surroundings.

While the song still played, I transitioned to a baby picture of me. Then a video of me around 9 years old basing the transition to the start of the song. When the lyrics finally start playing it starts off with "What I Always Long For" showing a picture collage of me in pre-k in a doctor costume, in cheer uniform, and holding up an honor-roll certificate. After these first lyrics are played the cut transitions to another scene with a black smokey fade in. With the lyrics "Feel Like a Brand-Ne...
