After looking at various openings, we found that we were more drawn to the drama genre. As thrilling as it was to go for the horror genre, we decided it was more clever to do a genre that we could be most successful at and that was indeed Drama!. We looked at and enjoyed watching more drama based films and the mix of narratives really grabbed our attention and also instantly giving us ideas for a narrative that we could use. However, we did find films that shared other genres with the genre Drama, nevertheless we did find films with only the genre Drama and ones that where memorable also. For instance, Seven pounds, My week with Marilyn, The art of getting by and there are upcoming films that seem to be great on narrative, like J.Edgar and so on.
As there can be many ways to open a film successfully, in any of the genres, drama has a nice way of giving away the story but still get the audience still wanting to know more. The audience want to know what will happen with the character and their journey. You can do all of this and still do it in the most creative way. Even though, there are many epic openings, we had to think realisticly and think on whether we can get good enough actors and a great setting. Overall, drama won in our opinions
