Genre Decision Blog

 After looking over each genre, we decided that, in order for our pitch to be correctly formatted, that the action genre would fit. We came to this reason because the action genre is almost exactly how we want the opening sequence for our pitch to be like, scenes full of action and combat, movement. The reason why horror genre wouldn’t work for our pitch was due to the plot having no horror sense at all. The plot of our pitch is greatly action-related and a horror genre wouldn't fit to all the scenes having more movement. Our opening sequence is based on a rivalry, not some upper entity who controls all of the environment around the protagonist, which is why horror genre would also not be a good fit. Thriller genre was another candidate but had felt as if it were the same type of energy as a horror film rather than an action. Throughout each and every thriller film I had researched on, there were lots of action and movement throughout scenes, however, most were spook-related in which protagonist would get scared. Both these genres had wanted to create a fear-sense to viewers, and although that sounds pretty creative, our opening sequence wouldn’t fit with that depiction. Our beginning sequence is a goal of revenge-seeking, the combat of each enemy on another is what we want to depict from the opening. Action genre will be able to provide great character interaction, whether it’d be fighting or conversations, which help grow the plot of what we try to convey on the story.
