Genre- Thriller

Does

Mittell

Altman

Abercrombie



Conclusion- Our thriller opening, although conforming to many of the typical conventions of a thriller as the genre has developed we followed a more specific take. We created a psychological thriller, this is a sub-genre.


Explanation
Evidence
Our thriller followed the typical thriller "genre", by using the conventions which make it obvious as to what genre it is.
Chandler
More specifically our thriller is a psychological thriller, this is conforming to Steve Neale's theory that genres are processes and therefore develop and evolve over time.
Neale- sub genres
Mittell says that genres are a way of selling films to the audience through culture, our thriller personally is aimed at a general audience. However the conventions we have used are what audiences will typically understand.
Mittell
We have tried to apply all the 'pleasures', emotional, visual and intellectual in our thriller for the audience to enjoy. Emotionally the audience connect with our main character as it is from her point of view and as a mother figure you feel sympathy for her. Visually we have created a pleasure by the amera editing conforming to the genre conventions. And intellectually we have challenged the audience with the mystery/enigma code of the film.

Stages of genre
1.experimental
2.classic
3.parody
4.deconstruction
We have followed a sub genre, psychological thriller, which is a dismantled more specific thriller genre.- Without the detective etc.
Abercrombie
Genre is constantly changing, however we have conformed very closely to the typical conventions of thrillers.
