Our task for A2 is to, in a team, create either a short film or teaser trailer in a genre of our choice. Our team, consisting of me (Jamie), Josh, Lela and Chloe. We have decided to use hybrid genre of both thriller and drama. This is why we have created this powerpoint below that talks about the codes and conventions of a drama and thriller genre. Also, below, there are examples of existing films that have this hybrid genre that we are going for in our film. By looking at existing films with a thriller/drama genre it helps us to become inspired and possibly use some of the asepcts of these films in our own such as similar narratives, iconography, locations and type of characters.
Although we had planned for our film to be a hybrid genre of drama and thriller, when watching the completed film and looking at the themes that are shown in our film we can say that the genre is BRITISH social realism.
Social realism is a genre that focuses on topical issues alive in modern society which are represented by different ideologies. Themes such as; drugs, money, abuse, and sex. Our film focuses on issues that are considered an aspect of British Social Realism such as bullying, suicide, violence and working class characters.
