Hello :3 !
For the Cambridge Portfolio Project, I desperately need to do some research on possible genres for the 2 minute film opening, so here is a rundown of my research !
I will research 2 genres today !
Starting off with the genre of Dystopia !
I've liked Dystopian literature for a while and coincidentally have been learning more about it in my English class,(subsequently led me to reading "The Electric State" [Simon Stalenhag] and "Ready Player One" [Earnest Cline]) so here's my research on the genre
What exactly is dystopian genre?
Ready player one ( Steven Spielberg) |
The only real downside to following through with a Dystopian film opening would probably be the difficulty in the creative process, however its probably not a huge problem, so chances are I will follow through.
Another genre I've been looking into recently is Coming of age !
If I'm being completely honest, I never knew what coming of age meant before I started taking this class, but coming of age is a vastly reappearing genre throughout many, many films and stories. Whilst present in most movies, usually it isn't the full focus ( a side genre of the film, probably ) , which seems interesting because building a character development adds a lot to a story.
What is the Coming of age genre?
High School Musical (Kenny Ortega) |
If I were to incorporate this genre into my film opening, I think it would most likely be a side topic used to build some character, whilst still keeping another genre in the spotlight.
