What Genre? 12-06-18

When it came time to decide a genre, our group members couldn’t come to an agreement. One of us wanted to tackle the “Horror” genre but due to previous attempts that didn’t go as planned we decided to stay away from this genre. Another member preferred “Comedy” but I personally believed that attempting to make someone laugh is more difficult than it seems. It was because of this that our group concluded that our best option would be to do the “Drama” genre with a hint of comedy.  The Drama aspect comes with the betrayal of friends while the Comedy aspect comes with how we narrated the story. While deciding the plot of our film we had a specific representation in mind. We wanted to represent teenagers and how they cope with the high school experience. We wanted to use slang that teenagers are more prone to using while also not making it “cheesy” The audience we have in mind is similar to the group we are representing: young teenagers.
