Evaluating Genre

This is our video presention to our teamwork film. We were asked to create a new film to go out into the market and sell. We decided on our genre as a 'Lovestory-Psycho-Drama' however this proved as a problem because we were then told that 'psychological-horror-drama' was dead in the market, so we then had to re-market and regenrefy our film as a 'lovestory-thriller' to fit into the current trends in the market. We decided on this genre after carrying out a survey which told us that people preferred Romance and Thrillers. We had to keep the film familiar yet original to attract viewers and keep them watching.
However, the downfall to our film was that we did not do enough background research into genres, audiences etc. we focused more on the characters and story line of the film which was not needed at this stage of production. I learnt that genre is always changing and we have to make it fit into the current market, also when we start making our real thrillers, we need to complete thorough research beforehand to ensure we know where are film is going.

  1. Be more clear on what you have learned about research, sharing responsibilities, and depth of research. Much more evaluation and reflection please
