Genre is the primary type of film style a film is designed around, such as thriller, drama, comedy or romance. Sub-genre is the principle of attaching a secondary film type within an established genre such as Thriller/Romance or Sci-fi/Horror . This tactic of implementing elements of other genres allows film makers to attract a wider audience, ones that would usually not watch a certain genre of film.
Axl- "The most inspiring type of thriller to me is supernatural thrillers, as it allows for a viewer to be taken out of reality and into a situation you are completely unfamiliar with., something that breaks the boundary of normality."
A movie representative of a supernatural thriller is The Adjustment Bureau. It also includes elements of romance as well.
This can influence our film opening as it can allow the creation of a more surreal opening segment, something that may usually be found in movies of other genres.
Joshua- Sub-genre can influence our work and our film opening as it allows us to think creatively about a way in which we can leave our audience shocked and surprised at what they're watching.
"The thriller sub-genre that I prefer is Drama/Thriller, as it enables the audience to view a story that contains a shocking twist in it, which then catches us as the audience by total surprise".
An example of this would be drama/thriller 'The Stepfather'.
