Genre Research Update
The film genre me and my group have chosen is psychological thriller. The reasons why we chose to do psychological thrillers is because most of the scenes are filmed during the night what suits the season we are in now because it gets late earlier. Another reason why we chose then genre is because it is a more exciting genre and it will keep all the group interested and we wont get bored of it. Then another reason why is from where it create a lot of tension in the opening sequence and will keep more engaged, and it will also show the skill that we as a group have, with fast pace editing, the right lighting and the right actors.
The conventions that i have identified are that there is a battle of justice vs injustice, there is a price to be paid for the conclusion of the story, a growing sense of threat or danger, there is normally two main characters, the characters appear smartly dressed, it is essential in building up suspense, it is set in an Urban setting, there is dim lighting, it has point of view and close up shots and it is Fast pace editing. We will uses them in our opening scene with our characters dresses smartly in an urban place. But may adapt the shot types with establishing shots and midshots, and change the type of battle it is.
Key text genres influenced our initial idea by showing a the main character in a bad situation, this will make the audience wonder what happened and keep them on edge because they wont be sure what happens to the character at the end and do not no who the person is that has put the main character in that bad situation where it is either life or death.
We will use themes of mystery, death and drama with dark lighting to create tension and keep the audience on edge. Then by showing the last sequence of the narrative towards the beginning but only giving away who one of the characters are it keep the mystery and drama in the opening sequence. Also by showing that murder has also took place it shows how death might be consistent throughout the narrative.
My genre research have helped develop our treatment in a way that both of the victims should also work closely with killer and have gone against his word, therefore the killer has a valid reason for killing them. This will make the narrative make more sense from where the killer has a motive and tries to kill people who finds out about what he as done, considering the killer is supposed to be a good guy from where he works in the police force as a detective.

Narrative Idea's
First Idea
A chief detective has been called in to solve the hardest murder to ever to be seen. He then calls in his brother, who is also a detective, to help him solve the murder. After several hours of long hard work they find out that the victim had an enemy who can not answer any of the question where he was when the murder took place, they then bring him into police custardy. Then whilst he was in his cell waiting to be sentenced the suspect gets killed. They then have a lead that both bullets that killed the victim and the suspect was fired from the same gun because of the markings on the bullet. Then the chief detective then finds out it was his brother that killed both of the people, and he then come to near death because he brother doesn't want anyone to no what happen. But the chief detective gets free and knocks his brother out then later sentences him to life in prison for two murders and a near murder. As as the audience then find out that the two people that died worked in a weed business with the brother, and because they mucked up in what the customers wanted and lost a lot of money it resulted in death for both of them.
Second Idea
There is a women detective and she is known for her good work. Then one day when she finished late at the office someone tries to mug her, the person had a black mask on so she is unable to see there face. She fights them off but goes a bit to far and it results in the mugger getting killed. Then the next day she gets called into work for a crime scene in a house with a man that died with internal bleeding. As she investigates the crime scene she finds out that a hair that was found on the victims jacket was her hair, then she figures out that she was the murder and that victim was the man that tried to mug her. Then audience then see a flash back of what happen after she ran away, the man then gets up and goes back to his home and later on dies on internal bleeding in the brain and body. Once she knows that she is the killer she then starts to go mental trying to hide the fact that she killed the man, which results her going to a mental home then going into a mental asylum because she ends up confessing that she was the murderer.
We then decided that we would go with are first narrative idea because it has more potential with an opening to keep the audience on edge and wanting to no more.
