Possible Genres for my Portfolio Project

Possible Genres for my Portfolio Project:

For my Portfolio project I have two options on possible genres we would like to do, these are Horror and Romance. For these two genres my group and I plan to establish tone and plot in a fun engaging way.

For Romance they usually deal with love between two people and all the different things that come in the way of that along with learning how to open up and explore strong connections. These films usually have the main character for which the story will revolve around. Usually accompanied by a group of friends. Some usual techniques used within this sub genre are not only realism but the use of colors signifying feelings of the character and moments shown through costume design and set designs.This usually happens in a realistic environment.

A great example of this is the movie 10 things I hate about you. This film follows teenage girl Kat Strawford (Julia Stiles) and teenage boy Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger) .The climate of this story occurs when Kat realizes this was a bet all along after she finally opened up to someone. Patrick extremely regrets it because he finds something far greater in what was supposed to be a simple bet. In this movie they explore the complexity of love and how for some it can be really hard to open up and give their full trust to another person.

For Horror the story's usual main goal is to create a sense of fear in the viewer and create a sense of

uncertainty throughout the movie to keep the viewer engaged and alert. These usually have

themes of loneliness, darkness and fear of the unknown.

A great example of this is the movie Bodies Bodies Bodies which follows a group of 20

year olds where throughout the whole movie they deal with uncertainty of finding who

the killer is and loneliness since they end up isolated at a cabin in the woods.
