Our Chosen Genre and Research

As a group we decided decided in the end to go for quite a strange genre. In the end we decided to go with a hybrid genre meaning that we are going to go for two major genre's, which are Romance and Action - quite a strange pair.The overview for our film is that we have a married couple that are both secretly spies, and that they both don't each other's true jobs. They both work for competing agency's that order them both to assassinate each other. So throughout the film the both of them are trying to kill each other in funny ways which never seem to succeed.The reason that we decided to do this was that we as a group couldn't decide on a single genre - one team member wanted to do action and the me and another team member wanted to do romance. This is when we decided to combine both genre's so we are all happy and we are happy with how it turned out in the end.To get some insight into the kind of films that are currently out there with these two genre's we came across Passenger (2016). This was mainly focused on action however it did have a romantic side to it which is what we are looking for.When we go in and have a look at some figures to the genre we can see that it has actually done quite well for itself in the box office. it was estimated that Passengers cost around $110,000,000 to make and overall it made $270,657,489 (Worldwide) in the month it was in the cinema for. when we use these statistics for our own purpose we can really get an idea that the genre we have chosen is quite popular and that it should get attention. Everything that you would need in a film. 
Researching into Passengers has really helped us create our own film as we can get an idea of the sort of shots that should be shown in the film. This means that we will have quite a few shots establishing the moment and the rest will be actually getting into the film. 

When we have a look at the generic conventions that this film has used we can see that it fits both the action and romance genre's. They really used the location, mise and props well in this film. The CGi that was used to create a realistic looking space as well as having thought about the colours that they should use to make a good looking colours to make the whole film a lot better. You can see when they were showing the romantic side to the film they were in a nice bar, lots of red as well as the two characters dressed in nice, smart clothing - with the red having connotations of love and romance. This is what we wanted to take from this film and combine it into ours - we want some red in the scene to show love and romance.
