So I've just been researching Thriller on wikipedia and apparently there are lots and lots of different variations of Thriller within itself, so if we chose to do a thriller we'd have plenty of ideas to choose from. Here's a few of them;
Action thriller: In which the work often features a race against the clock, contains lots of violence, and an obvious antagonist. These films usually contain large amounts of guns, explosions, and large elaborate set pieces for the action to take place. These films often have elements of mystery films and crime films but these elements take a backseat to action. Notable examples are the James Bond films, The Transporter, and the Jason Bourne novels and films.
Psychological thriller: In which (until the often violent resolution) the conflict between the main characters is mental and emotional, rather than physical. The Alfred Hitchcock filmsSuspicion, Shadow of a Doubt, and Strangers on a Train and David Lynch's bizarre and influential Blue Velvet are notable examples of the type, as is The Talented Mr. Ripley byPatricia Highsmith (who also wrote Strangers) and The Good Son starring Elijah Wood and Macaulay Culkin.
Drama thriller: In which the story consists of the elements of a thriller and drama film. These films are usually slower paced and involves a great deal of character development along with plot twists. Examples include The Illusionist, The Interpreter and The Prestige.
...and the list goes on! Making a thriller as a class would probably be the simplest option for us to go with, but it could also be difficult because we'll be going up against so many other openings that come under the thriller category. A Chick Flick has the potential to be good but there's a huge chance that it could end up becoming really bland.
Action would never work...although maybe if we try and do Action it could turn into Comedy...?!
I think our choices are either thriller or comedy, because the other genres seem almost impossible to work with.
