This week has been all about the research. I have captured so much information these past few days that it has been hard to choose which one I will be using for my Cambridge Project. Due to the fact that I have to create a two-minute video on an op[ening of a film, I have researched two genres in the film industry which could be potential genres for my opening. Ironically, they are both very different in various aspects, however, this was a great overview of the different genres that exist in the world of media.
Melodrama:
-Plot appeals to heightened emotions
-Exaggerated plots
-Domestic situations with "stereotyped characters"
-Appeal to a more feminine audience
-Emphasise human crisis events
Ex: Adrift (2018)
Action:
-More flexibility when expanding on the plot (Action-adventure, Action-comedy, Action-horror, Action-thriller)
-Emphasis on fights, chases, and explosions
-Stunt work
-Special effects
-Strong Heroes
-Revenge Plot
Ex: Inception (2010)
Even though both genres researched are very different, they are a great start when it comes to the planning of my opening. This way, I was able to educate myself even further on the desired genre. Nevertheless, I will continue to expand my knowledge in the art of media in the different tunnels it could take me to.
