Main Task- Re-evaluation of Genre.

Whilst always considering our film to be a Horror, due to the disturbing themes included; being the murder of a young child by a girl of just 18. We began to deconstruct the opening credits of previous popular horror movies. Throughout this process we bagan to grasp a better understanding of the conventionsof the horror genre, often being blood, gore and almost always an aspect of death. Altough our film most certainly includes the tragic death of a young child, it does not include any disturbing images of the death and the whole scenario very much happens in the background, behind the scenes. As well as this, a large factor in our film opening is the signifaicamce of the girls poor mental health, and as a result, her psychiatric help. Considering all of these factors we believe it seems entirely more appropriate to categorise our film opening as a Psychological thriller as opposed to a Horror.
