Our group researched the different genres to do for our opening sequence and chose thriller, horror, and Sci-Fi. When researching these genres, we relished how while they are similar, they all have distinct aspects that make them its own genre. This helped us see how each genre would work in our opening sequence. Thriller is more of a suspense, horror is a fear factor to scare you, and Sci-Fi is science fiction which is imagined science. Some movies helped us get a better view of how each genre looks, rather than just reading about it. For Sci-Fi we looked at movies such as “Godzilla vs. Kong” “stowaway” and “Free Guy”. When looking at movie genres like horror “Halloween kills” and “scream.” which as we saw has a lot of gore. Finally for thriller we looked at “a quiet place part II", "countdown” and “hereditary” which finally put what we were missing into what genre we wanted to use. We chose Sci-Fi as our movie genre because it fits best for what we are going for and the kind of story we are trying to tell. Looking at the other two choices, it was easy to see which on we should pick for our opening sequence. Horror and thriller, while highly considered, did not fit how we wanted our movie to turn out. We thought that horror and thriller were the same until further research showed us that they are completely different and would not work for our movie. Since our movie deals with an alien, it falls more into science fiction than any of the other genres. If we chose horror, we would have to make it seem more extreme and scarier rather than making it more dramatic than it is. Choosing thriller we would run into a similar problem, the only difference is thriller has more of a buildup, so the kidnapping would seem more like something you know was coming rather than it shocks you out of nowhere. Sci-Fi gave us the right buildup, along with camera angles, editing, and sound we would use in the opening sequence. Choosing Sci-Fi has now given us a better idea of how our opening sequence will look. When doing our opening sequence, we will look back at Sci-Fi movies which could give us ideas on how to improve our movie. Our group is extremely excited to do Sci-Fi as it seems like it gives a more opening to being imaginative. We cannot wait to get started on the next part of our project.
