Film Project

To create the start of the film scene, I paired up with adam dickinson. We need to decide what genre of film we are going to do,  however we are stuck between the choice of Action and Horror. But there are benefits and disadvantages to both. They are listed below.


ACTION GENRE


Advantages

• We will be able to make it interesting and cool.
• Props would be easy to get, as toy guns can be made to realistic easily.
• Won't be hard to keep audience interested.

Disadvantages

• Action shots such as jumping from rooftop to rooftop, which is seen in many films, would be hard and dangerous to film.
• Sequence shots will be hard to film and will take a long time.

HORROR GENRE

Advantages

• Easy to make scary.
• Scenery/Location would be easy to find as an old looking house, a derelict building or a dark wood.
• Clear cliches which are easy to follow.
• Clear target audience to make the film suitable for.

Disadvantages

• If someone dies in our scene, it may be hard to make it look realistic, as fake blood would be hard to reproduce.
• Lighting would be hard to do, as we are not provided with lighting equipment.
