A possible genre that is being considered is drama. Some conventions of drama are the detail and complexity put into the characters, emotions being the main theme, and conflict. Drama is a consideration because it is easier to make a homemade film instead of one that looks professional. I believe this because we can focus more on character depth than set design, although set design is still very important.
Another possible genre could be horror. Like drama, we need the audience to feel horrified for the main characters. Some conventions are suspenseful music, blood, terror, survival, and the settings have to match the atmosphere. For this, we could focus more on the mis-en-scene elements than character depth. We will also have to use sound a bit more to help create the atmosphere we want.
Although we considered these genres, we came to the conclusion of taking a little of both. The genre we decided on is legal thriller where can create a complex main character while also utilizing mis-en-scene elements. A legal thriller seems easier to use for a two-minute film opening because we could just focus on context and showing the life of the main character.
