Genre Research: Thriller

    I decided that my film will be opening with the thriller genre. I researched this topic and it fits my pitch. Most thriller movies i've seen tend to go hand in had with other genres. For example horror or crime genres are also involved. But, I will base my opening scene on just the thriller genre even though there will be some hints of another genre. I will base it as much as possible to the thriller genre. Since, the costumes I was planning on using relate to cartel style I will have to avoid as much as possible making it learn towards crime. I came to the conclusion of choosing thriller for a specific reason. The reason to which why it was chosen was because it was going to end with a cliffhanger of kidnapping. Kidnapping is very tense and suspenseful. When I researched this genre I saw that some elements were tension, suspension, danger and excitement. The mafia dressing also brings suspense to the film. The reason for this is because the viewer will already imagine crime organization mean danger. The person watching could build up a sense that is suspenseful. The feeling of suspense would come from the viewer thinking that problems or something can happen. This is because crime organization groups like mafia or cartels tend to have many enemies. Suspense is a very important in making this thriller opening. Because, suspense and dread are what helps shape something into fitting the thriller genre. Dread would also fit with the kidnapping part at the end of the opening scene. The viewing of kidnapping is a tense moment which can produce fear to the viewer.

Unproductive days

 This week has been an unproductive week. Well only for this class I didn't do anything. I decided not to deal with anything dealing with this class. But, I didn't do anything because I was lazy I needed to work on other things. I catched up on other classes instead throughout the week. The reason for this was because of work all my assignments have piled up. Also, I wasn't worried with not working on this class because everything is prepared. I just have to wait for the day I am going to film. Also, I got sick this week and haven't been feeling well. I did go take a covid exam and it came back negative thankfully. I am just getting the cold but, I still have to film so whether or not I am fine or not I will be filming. Tomorrow friday, I am finally going to film. I have waited a very long time but tomorrow will finally be the date. I didn't follow the schedule I had originally made for the dates of filming and editing. But, not everything goes as planned. Unfortuna...

 So over these last couple of days I have ran into some difficulties. Some of my family members started to get sick. So now we have to wait for their covid results to come back just to make sure it isn't that. This is making me have to postpone the filming if anything as of right now. I won't postpone it for to long because I have to start filming. Coronavirus has taken a huge impact on how we socially gatter now in groups. It is better to be safe than sorry.
