When deciding the genre for our trailer, poster and magazine cover we explored the possibilities of these different genres. Eventually we narrowed it down to either horror or romance. We thought horror would be good as it is a well defined genre, so the conventions are clear. We also have easy access to a typical horror film location (graveyard, forest etc). However, the problem with horror is that we thought it would be too similar to our AS work as we created a psychological thriller opening scene, so by doing this genre for our A2 coursework, we wouldn't be exploring other ideas; because of this, we decided romance would be the best genre for us to do. We are all interested in romance films so this would be a good genre. In addition to this, it is a totally different theme to our AS plot, so it will show our versatility and our skills to adapt to different genres and their conventions.
When thinking of plots we decided to take a closer look at the romance genre and choose a sub-genre. We thought of doing a tragic romance because it would allow us to create a strong plot with a good beginning, middle and end.
- a state of equilibrium at the outset
- a disruption of the equilibrium by some action
- a recognition that there has been a disruption
- an attempt to repair the disruption
- a reinstatement of the equilibrium
