Choosing a genre

    Every movie I have ever seen has been running through my mind trying to help me picture an idea for my film opening. While thinking about all of our favorite movies I kind of took inspiration from the movie Gone Girl but turn it into something that stars a teenage girl so we could turn our main character and story into something us, teenage girls, can understand better. This is when we got the idea to make our film opening about a girl running away from home but messing up her room and making it look like she got taken mixed with parallel editing of her parents just downstairs cooking dinner. Ending the scene with them walking into her room and seeing her gone.
    Romance, drama, horror, these are just some examples of genres we considered, planned out a story for and ultimately crossed them all off. We actually came up with our idea first without deciding the genre. Once we came up with our storyline we went through the different genres we could consider. We could have turned it into a horror film or a romance. After considering each one carefully we chose to go with a thriller. 
    Now that we have picked the genre our next steps are to study the thriller genre and incorporate the techniques used into our opening. For example, adding suspenseful music in the background.
