Genre: Drama

Assignment #8Individual Presentation

I have chosen this genre as I have already done a lot of work on it, and I already know what its conventions are.

Drama Films are serious presentations or stories with settings or life situations that portray realistic characters in conflict with either themselves, others, or forces of nature. A dramatic film shows us human beings at their best, their worst, and everything in-between.

Sub-genres:What is Thriller/Suspense sub-genre?

Thrillers are often hybrids with other genres - there are action-thrillers, crime-caper thrillers, western- thrillers, film-noir thrillers, even romantic comedy-thrillers. Another closely-related genre is the horror film genre. Thriller and suspense films are virtually synonymous and interchangeable categorizations. They are types of films known to promote intense excitement, suspense, a high level of anticipation, ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, anxiety, and nerve-wracking tension. The acclaimed Master of Suspense is Alfred Hitchcock. Spy films may be considered a type of thriller/suspense film.

Drama/ Thriller.

Obsessed

What inspired me the most, was the story. How a simple work flirtation could create a big impact. How a simple extra smile can get someone so obsessed on something.

Enigma;To create enigma for the Opening Sequence of Obsession I will only show bits and pieces of the scene story, its going to be small bits of the story put in together. At the end just a final scene showing the ending of the scenes. An opening sequence like Chainsaw..

To create enigma for the Help/S.O.S I will show a full scene. Not going to cut pieces, its going to shown scenes, full scenes. Ending just leaving the girl (Sophia) just calling child care.
