 Deciding the genre I want to do is a big step because after I cant just go back and switch mid way through the project. So After a lot of discussing we decided Horror or Romance would be our best options. Both are completely different maybe even opposites but it gives us a variety of options we could do and lets us be really creative. We could go for something cute that would leave the viewers like "awww" if it were something you would watch with your partner or something the audience starts to wonder what's gonna happen next with suspense and curiosity of what's gonna happen next and "BOOM" out of nowhere a jump scare and they will be like this is something to watch at night with some friends. I would want to make a horror to leave the viewers scared even after watching it, that they cant go to sleep without thinking how scary it was.

Romance films typically feature themes like overcoming certain obstacles to be together, doing cute things for the partner, and especially love at first sight, and they end with happy endings showing the 2 characters in love end up happily together. I think the "Note Book" by Nicholas Sparks, and directed by Nick Cassavetes, The Note Book is a great example. Its about this guy named Noah who meets this girl he falls in love with at first sight named Allie but after being together for a few months they started coming upon a few inconveniences like her parents who weren't sure about him because he wasn't wealthy enough and didn't have something going for himself. But the 2 lovers kept pushing and didn't let them come in between them until they made Allie move away for college, but Noah still loved her and did everything such as big gestures but that didn't tend to workout because the mom would keep everything related to him so Allie would think Noah forgot about her and moved on. But after they made their way back to each other and Noah built her the house of her dreams and she realized that what they had was true love so she visited him they talked and argued but they made it work cause they loved each other and they lived happily ever after and grew old together. Its a very heart touching movie that tends to make people cry and go like "aww I wish I had someone like that" it shows the viewers that don't let anyone come between the person you love and don't let anyone convince you otherwise. So no matter what type of obstacles that come your way you need to keep chasing if you know its really meant to be if they really have a real connection.


Horror films typically feature more of a suspense or thriller type of theme to keep the audience thinking what's gonna happen next or if they are going to expect a jump scare. Horror movies try to create a sense of fear or disgust to get the viewers to want to look away but at the same time stay looking to see what happens next, they make some scenes a little more disturbing or scarier so the viewers just wont expect something like that coming. For example in Terrifier 3 by Damien Leone, this film was about this murder who would just act like a random weird guy just wandering around but then he proceeded to do crazy mental thing and killing consistently and every time he would kill someone they tended to make the scenes really gory so the audience would would get disturbed, and they would have really unexpected jump scares, but the Director did it in a way that other movies haven't done before when they were killing someone they did it in more unique ways so the audience would be more like "wow this isn't like the other movies its something new" they wanted to make their movie different from the others. So this is a 





. They also normally have plot twists like to who the villain is gonna be and they disguise themselves as one of the good guys. For example in Scream VI by Guy Busick and James Vanderbilt.
