2. Different genres of film
The main types of genre which a film can fall under are:
 Action
 Adventure
 Comedy
 Crime/Gangster
 Drama
 Historical
 Musical
 Science Fiction
 War
 Westerns
 Romance

3. Existing films
Some of my favourite films which could
provide inspiration to my film opening are
‘Goodfellas’ ‘The Godfather’ ‘Taken’ ‘Public
Enemies’ and ‘Avatar’.

4. It is likely that I will decide to create my film
opening following the crime genre, as it seems
that most of my favourite films fall under this
category e.g. The Godfather and Public Enemies.
I think that it would be good to create a film
opening following this genre, as I feel it will be
easy to include a lot of action in a short period of
time. It will allow me to get straight into the action
and interest the audience. It is likely that I will
include a brief scene of violence and perhaps
also illegal drug activity in my film opening, in
order to establish clearly the genre to the
audience. In this case It would seem that I will be
looking at age rating my film at either 15 or 18.
