R+P Post 6: Our chosen genre and how we plan to connote this



The genres we have chosen for our film are:

  • Psychological
  • Thriller
  • Stalker
In order to successfully connote our genres we got inspiration from one of our references One Hour Photo. We liked how in One Hour Photo it was told from the perspective of the stalker, and how he became obsessed with the lives of one family through his occupation developing photos. The thriller element was connoted in One Hour Photo through the contrast between the seemingly ordinary every day life of the stalker and his dark secret stalking of the family. This inspired us in how we communicated our genre in our sequence, as we decided to make the main character a seemingly ordinary 18 year old girl who lives a double life.

One idea that directly inspired us from One Hour Photo that communicates the genre was the idea of the moodboard. This displays the disturbing psychological lengths that the stalker is willing to go to.
