The document discusses choosing the drama genre for a film project because the author is familiar with its conventions. It provides definitions and examples of drama films and the thriller/suspense subgenre. It also includes potential plot points and character descriptions for opening sequences of two possible film ideas - "Obsessed" about romantic obsession and stalking, and "Help/S.O.S" about a bullied girl seeking help.

1. Genre: Drama

2.  I have chosen this genre as I have already done a lot of work on
it, and I already know what its conventions are.
 Drama Films are serious presentations or stories with settings or life
situations that portray realistic characters in conflict with either
themselves, others, or forces of nature. A dramatic film shows us
human beings at their best, their worst, and everything in-between.

4. What is Thriller/Suspense sub-genre?
Thrillers are often hybrids with other genres - there are action-
thrillers, crime-caper thrillers, western- thrillers, film-noir thrillers, even
romantic comedy-thrillers. Another closely-related genre is
the horror film genre. Thriller and suspense films are virtually
synonymous and interchangeable categorizations. They are types of films
known to promote intense excitement, suspense, a high level of
anticipation, ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, anxiety, and
nerve-wracking tension. The acclaimed Master of Suspense is Alfred
Hitchcock. Spy films may be considered a type of thriller/suspense film.

6. Obsessed
1st Drama/ Thriller.
What inspired me the most, was the story.
How a simple work flirtation could create a
big impact. How a simple extra smile can
get someone so obsessed on something.
