Changing Genre

Our group was set on trying to make an intelligent thriller with certain shots, and this was our downfall. We were so focused on two particular shots we were trying to form a narrative around them and it just was not working. So, we took a step back.

We looked at the current narrative we had and noticed that we had been using conventions that were tailored more towards a Horror film. We talked through it more with one of our teachers to find possible routes to follow, settling on a found footage style film before slowly drifting towards something influenced by today's culture and the influence of memes. Eventually we were able to create a horror film narrative based on the concept of Slenderman that we hope will employ the main conventions of the genre.
