Three Mindmaps of Genres

The three genres which we have considered for our opening are coming of age drama, action drama and romantic drama.

Below are the mind maps of different things which we could incorporate into a film opening within this genre.

As active film watchers, we decided to brainstorm a number of films from each sub-genre to remind ourselves of some of the cross-over conventions which are necessary and so we have a guideline to work by. We have decided to create a film with a Coming-of-Age Drama theme so we can connect with young people our age. Doing this will help us pursue our chosen audience with a plan in mind and examples to work from.
