After looking over each genre, we decided that, in order for our pitch to be correctly formatted, that the thriller genre would fit. We came to this reason because the thriller genre is almost exactly how we want the opening sequence for our pitch to be like, scenes full of suspense and avid movements. The reason why horror genre wouldn’t work for our pitch was due to the plot having no horror sense at all. The plot of our pitch is greatly action-related and a horror genre wouldn't fit to all the scenes having more movement. Our opening sequence is based on a rivalry, not some upper entity who controls all of the environment around the protagonist, which is why horror genre would also not be a good fit. The action genre was another candidate but had felt as if it were the same type of energy as a horror film rather than an thriller. Throughout each and every action film I had researched on, there were lots of action and movement throughout scenes, however, most were spook-related i...

 The common camera angles in action:  Long shot: Artificially shortens the distance between two characters, tricking the viewer into thinking that the characters actually punch each other but the angle just makes it look like that. Wide shot: Used to establish the main characters in the movie but not the area surrounding them.  Low angle: Used to show how intimidating the villain is and how they are above all.  High angle: Used to show when the main hero is in a tough situation and losing, usually fights or big battles.  Establishing shot: Used to show the main area where the heroes/hero battles it out.  Common Costumes, Props, Setting, and Make-up:  Costume: The costumes in action films are what truly establish the character, some people don't even know the characters face but as soon as they see the suit/costume they immediately recognize them.  Props: Props are important in action films, whether it range from Thor's Hammer to Batman's Bata-rang...

 Common Camera Angles: High Angle: These shots are used in thriller films to give the effect that whatever is being looked down on appears to look powerless and vulnerable.  Tracking/panning: Used to make it look like one of the characters is being followed or being watched. It also helps the audience to have a full view of the scene and what is happening.  Tilting Angle: These add dramatic tension to the scene, and sometimes signify a supernatural being pushing or moving the camera.  Low Angle: These are often used in thrillers to emphasize how powerful and intimidating a villain is. This can also make the audience feel weak and insignificant. Zoom: This gives a dramatic effect and helps to create suspense and fear of not knowing what's going to happen next. Its mostly used in these types of films see something you would have missed before zooming in.  Common Mis-En-Scene:  Setting: Dark areas to present a freaked-out feeling to the viewer. They also use s...

  Common Camera Angles: High Angle: These kinds of shots are used in horror films to make the figure or object that is looked down upon seem completely powerless and vulnerable. Close Up: These shots are used to see reactions on the actors face. This shot shows the most emotion from characters and captures detail in an important scene. Panning Shot: These shots connotes movement. This is used very effectively in horror films to make out a character being followed or watched  Tilted Angle: Tilted shots add a lot of attention to shots, and could simplify a supernatural being, for example pushing or moving the camera. Common Film Necessities: Setting: Forests, cemeteries, cabins, and abandoned buildings are just some of the main settings for horror films. Lighting: Dim lighting and silhouettes are used in horror films because it creates tension due to its mysterious and dark atmosphere, controlling how much of the surroundings and characters are revealed.  Props: Chainsaws, ...

The genres I would like to research are Horror, Thriller, and Action. I want to research these 3 genres for different reasons. Horror: Provides a deep suspense and explores dark subjects for entertainment purposes. Thriller: Involves crime or mystery. Thrillers are defined by the moods they elicit giving viewers heightened feelings of suspense, excitement and anticipation which are all qualities a genre should produce. Action: Involves violence and fast paced scenery which appeals to certain audiences

 Pitch 1: A man reading a book  seems to be telling the story of his own life, though he doesn’t think he's ever met the author. Pitch 2: After a long day at work a man comes home and starts sleeping only to wake up in the morning from a nightmare where he was murdered. Not keeping mind of the nightmare he goes to work and continues his daily life only to realize that he is living the nightmare he dreamt and he must kill the murderer to stop the concurring torment and go back to his daily life. Pitch 3: A boy and a girl are shipwrecked after an unexpected storm. They find themselves on an island where they are forced to spend their first night together under the stars. We decided to choose pitch 1 because the story has the most interesting plot with the most potential to be expanded into a 5 minute film. Also since the 1st pitch is very attention grabbing it will be a way better outcome of a film than the other 2 pitches. A mystery genre is way more fascinating than the other ...
