Our first team meeting:
In our first team meeting we discussed which thriller sub-genre we should use to create our film opening. We shortlisted not only a few sub-genres but also some film ideas. One of our most liked ideas was a modern 'Frankenstein' with a mad scientist. We liked the idea of either a pyschological thriller, a disaster thriller or a crime/mystery thriller
The Conventions of our shortlisted genres:
