Film genre refers to the range of methods based around
similarities in the narrative elements from in which films are constructed
from. However genre is a debateable subject based upon opinions made by people
over how to define genre types with it being a horror or a thriller for
example. The reason for this is that people’s views may deflect others as some
genres have close similarities to one other.
What is the Thriller genre?
Thrillers are a broad genre of film. That uses suspense and excitement
as the main features. Thrillers are made up of great elements that really draw
in the audience with the use of surprise, anxiety and surprise. Thrillers are
often made from use of cliff-hangers which engages the audience more and more.
What is our film genre and sub-genre?
We decided that our film fits within the thriller genre. Once
we discovered this we then further researched around sub-genre in the thriller category.
It was here where we discovered that our film fulfilled the genre type of
supernatural thriller. The reason for this is we use paranormal events and a
fictional narrative which cannot be defined by science however by its
supernatural explanation. This being in our film a paranormal activity from the
main character, this being the ‘Gift’ which He inherits at the start of the
film. Throughout our film there is a series of events where we see an appearance
from this paranormal activity when he sees into the future to predict the
outcomes of the gambles which he makes playing the different games. Thriller
films often tend to be gritty and use plot twisters and give the audience
experience of cliff-hangers. Our film fully fulfils these criteria as we have a
film based around paranormal experience and use massive plot twisters to ‘WOW’
the audience.
Alphas, is a good example to use from the same supernatural genre as both our film and this silm have similar uses of paranormal activities. This film also use real human being characters that have special abilities (gifts) to do certain things. This is really similar to our film as our main character also has special abilities to see to the near future to predict certain outcomes which give him fortune.
Another example of a film which uses supernatural thrillers aspects to creating the narritive is 'The Gift' created in the year 2000. 'The Gift' uses similar aspects to creating an narrative by the use of paranormal event of a gift which give the character an ability to see into to the future to predict certain outcomes.
