There are so many options when choosing a genre, and honestly it was getting quite overwhelming. So, I decided to research. I came across this article, it informed me of how each genre is typically represented, for example, science-fiction is most often about the future and its technology as well as time travel.
After understanding what each genre entailed, I decided I was going to create the opening for a thriller film. The previous article had a link to another article which talked about some sub-genres within thrillers and their overall focus. I learned that the key component of any good thriller is suspense, constantly having the viewers waiting to find the next part of the story.
Like most thrillers my film would be tension building, always keeping the audience on edge wanting to find out more, not just what was going to happen but what previously had led to this very moment discovering where the character went wrong. Finally, I decided on a story. The story would be about a woman who moved to a new small town in hopes to start over. She arrives at her new place of residence to find a neatly wrapped box in her new home, waiting to be opened. She then realizes there is no outrunning the past.
I chose to incorporate this photo to represent the thriller theme. It also stood out to me, I liked the use of the bars shown, it adds visual interest and can be used to allude to future parts of the story. I will consider choosing to incorporate something similar in my piece.
