Genres I Would Like to Research

 The three different genres I would like to research are horror, drama, and teen drama. I feel like these genres would make my film more relevant to the audience I am aiming for.

Horror:

Horror films always are able to confront fears or make the unsightliness of death seem interesting. they are also very creative and allow for the imagination to run wild. The main ingredients in a horror film are music, sound effects, lighting, camera trickery & special effects and most importantly a clever, catchy, scary script. A director will include many other things that create suspense and the eerie atmosphere of the scene, or simply make us cringe. The prop are not just there to fill space, the costumes aren't chosen because the character had to wear something or the film done at night because the filming finished late. Of course, in a horror film not all characters are real - and nor are the events. Camera trickery, special effects and make-up add to the realism of a good horror film. The lighting adds emphasis to make-up, a character's personality or a frightening scene.

Drama:

These film and TV series portray realistic characters in conflict with either themselves, others, or forces of nature. They usually focus on character and how these people arc over time. Drama is regularly mashed up with other genres because most movies and tv rely on character-driven stories to keep the audience involved. A dramatic film or television show shows us humans at their best and their worst. These kinds of films can be biopics based on real people. They usually include a strong moral stance or view of the world around them. the characters in these films are always dealing with what life has to offer. Drama is all about conflict and how people deal with the world constantly in their way. 

Coming-of-age:

It focuses on the growth of a protagonist from youth to adulthood. Can portray the feeling of growing up and moving from one part of your life to the next that every audience can relate to. No matter the age of the film, the audience can still reflect upon their own experiences in relation to the characters. Coming of age can represent many themes for adolescents. There could be the themes like friendship, economic status, mentors, love, sexuality, culture, race, and relationships. The characters possesses a clearly defined personality and exhibits growth during the course of the story. Their growth of self-awareness usually comes with struggling, pain, and even suffering. Coming-of-age stories hold a unique place in the realm of storytelling: broad enough to relate, yet specific enough to learn fresh a point-of-view.
