  Hi, blog I'm back with a short episode today about what genre my group and I will use for our opening sequence in our upcoming blockbuster film. The genre we decided on was thriller because we can create automatic suspense for the audience. We came up with this conclusion by thinking about what the audience would think and how they would react to the opening scene. Another reason we chose this genre was because  A thrilling opening sequence sets the tone for the entire film. It signals to the audience what kind of experience they can expect whether it's suspenseful, mysterious, action-packed, or emotionally charged. Another reason is By introducing suspense early on, the audience is compelled to stay tuned to find out what happens next. The desire to resolve the tension introduced in the opening scene keeps viewers hooked.

So for this blog we’re going to discuss comedy. So a few characteristics that make up a comedy movie are wordplay and uncomfortable situations to induce laughter from the audience. After doing some research, the most common camera techniques are the push, the pull, the wait for it, and the reveal. I think we can implement all of these things into our final task.

I know this blog is ending, which is sad but we will make this a nice last project together. In today's blog, I will discuss the pitch of the final project. There will be two pitches I will present.
