Choosing a Genre

We have been given another task to make a two minute opening for a film, to be able to create this film we are going to have to choose what genre would be best to do and then research and plan it. After some consideration our group have chosen to do a Thriller.
We have chosen this genre for many reasons, the main reason being that it is going to be the easiest film to make in the environment we are in, due to equipment and budget. To make a different genre of film, for example Sci-Fi it would cost alot more as we would need special effects.
The reason we decided against a Comedy is because it would be very hard to make the script humorous, and to find actors who would be able to play a funny role. This leads on to why we decided against the genre of Romance, it would be difficult to get actors/actresses that would be willing to do a kissing scene, which is an imporant convention of this genre.
Therefore, we feel our decision to make a thriller seems to be the most achievable, although we do now need to be careful about what sub-genres we are going to use as we want to make our film to the best standard we possibly can.
Next, I am going to be researching existing thrillers, their sub-genres and conventions.
