5. My Film
The genre I have chosen as the base of my film
is a hybrid genre, the amalgamation of drama
and a psychological thriller. A drama film is a
film genre that depends mostly on in-depth
development of realistic characters dealing
with emotional themes.
In dramatic films, details such as emotion,
landscape and mise-en-scene are symbolic
representations that have meaning in every
scenario.
6. The genre I have chosen
for my film is inspired
the by the genre of my
reference film, Gone
Girl. This film is also an
amalgamation of drama
and a psychological
thriller. Making your film
based on a hybrid genre
gives it more edge
making it diverse in
nature, which is what I
plan to do.
