Deciding on Genres



In today class session, my group members and I discussed what genre we going to choose for our final preliminary.


Now we are deciding on our film genre. To decide on a genre we have to be aware of different genres and their sub genres. Below are the links to the site from where I learnt about the various genres.



We are having trouble deciding if we should choose an ordinary story or make a parody of a movie or a character. Usually making suspense movies are easier. The examples I looked up for the opening titles were suspense and they were very well done whereas on the other hand, making a spoof is a different but a very interesting project. On you tube most of the opening titles made by the AS media students are of thriller and suspense movies and I did did not find much on official spoof or parody films. Therefore we plan to watching few DVD's to see how the opening titles of the parodies are presented. There are few parodies made as this genre is for the niche audience and due to some contents in those movies, some people do not watch them. Parodies are mostly watched by teenagers and young people.

I thought to look around and see if there are any famous parodies of movies made and I was surprised with the list I found

Here is the list of some famous parodies. 
     Scary Movie 1
