Proposal - Genre

The following post offers a more detailed description of our ideas for the proposal.

We have chosen the thriller and revenge drama genres for our film as thriller is extremely popular as a genre in the USA and the UK and therefore we have a bigger chance of making our film reach a global market, subsequently giving us more of a potential to make a profit.

Although we aim to defy normal conventions in our film with regards to having a woman as the strong protagonist, we will keep the convention of Hero Vs Villain in order to make the characters more identifiable and therefore comfortable for the audience. The protagonist is physically strong, however we will also keep to some of the stereotypical representations of women as she will use, to some extent, her sexuality to get what she wants.

Our main reference points for the genre are:

• Revenge 
• Kill Bill 
• Homeland 
• The Hunger Games
• Haywire
