Planning: Genre...
Now as a group we had to choose between making a genre film or a conceptual film, this is a very important decision even if it may appear simple to many, this decision will effect everything from shots to costumes because by making a genre film you are knowingly or unknowingly agreeing to meet certain norms & concepts. Due to this, we as a group have decided to make a conceptual film which allows us to do pretty much what we like without being placed in a certain box...allowing creativity to flow without thinking within boundaries like we would need to if we were going to create a rom-com for example. Our film will be pretty much be a post modern piece.
We haven't given our film an actual genre, this is to give us more scope for creative ideas. We have an ambitious drive to create a well executed piece and we didn't want a limit to how we could achieve this by labeling it just yet. However, quite clearly we have looked to horror to give our film a creepy undertone. The final scene is a clear reference and classic idea of killing a loved one, due to the idea of a mental illness, which seems quite real to the character throughout the film.
The ending has a post , modern twist, and rejects classic horrors by making the villain a woman, this is a reflection of 21st century liberation's, women are now playing roles typically played by men, for instance a personal favorite of mine, Quintin tanantino's Kill Bill. The assassin is played by Uma Thurman who is a blonde American lady, who has a lot of inner and outer strength and successfully brutally murders hundreds of other trained assassins who stand in her way.
Our film also bares clear references to thrillers,
