The genres I brainstormed to go with the film opening are drama and horror. I chose these genres because they will illustrate the film opening best and are more convenient for the audience, since they will get intrigued and imagine what comes next. Here's what I've learned about these two genres:
Characteristics of Drama:
(The Green Book-2018)
WHAT MAKES DRAMA GOOD?
A good drama is the ability to make the audience feel what the characters feel through believable characters and a great story. Moreover, it's all about emotion (The Green Book has a lot of emotion included in the film), which helps the audience understand the character's struggles and progression. Additionally, having realistic performances, natural-sounding dialogue, and believable backgrounds make the film more impactful and realistic to the audience's perspective. Common people, places, love, identity, prejudice, and redemption make the story feel real and relevant, the main goal of a drama is to stick with the audience's mind, when it does that it means it was a well-made drama.
Characteristics of Horror:
(A Quiet Place-2018)
WHAT MAKES HORROR GOOD?
A good horror film is structured with fear and suspense, including atmosphere, tension, and emotion. It has to be presented in a tight-paced, unsettling manner, both visually and audibly, to generate anticipation and place the audience on edge. Nevertheless, characters to which viewers can relate, along with high stakes, enhance the making of such fear. Fear of the unknown, psychological threats, or supernatural beings raises the stakes even higher in terms of anticipation (Such as a Quiet Place with their supernatural beings). Ultimately, a great horror film succeeds in what it wants the audience to feel, the deep, hanging fear or a reflection of a very emotional psychological type.
