LO2 Evidence of Footage being in the Style and Convention of the Chosen Genre

The genre we chose to work in was a drama/ fantasy in which we tried to imitate a dream. We specifically took inspiration from the short film 'A song from your mixtape' which was based in the same genre and is very similar in how it is put together, it also contains a voiceover that heavily inspired our short film and its voiceover aspect. When trying to stay true to the drama/ fantasy/ thriller genre we always looked back at that short film and looked at aspects of that and tried to include them in ours, such as the shot types, angles and voiceover aspects. We incorporated all of these aspects into our short film to make sure it appealed to the target audience involved with the drama/ fantasy genre. In this specific scene, Elizabeth can be seen walking down the path after Maya, which creates suspense which is an element of the drama genre, as well as the whole setting be apart of a dream which can be associated with the fantasy genre. Over the whole of the forest scenes we have also added a voiceover which lines up with the scenes, which can also be reminiscent of the drama genre, which also creates tension and contrast. Being that when the scenes start to speed up which are associated with the thriller genre, they are stilled slowed down and maintained by the steady voiceover which stays calm and collected throughout. The scenes of the actors running through the forest relate to the thriller genre, and create suspense and excitement.

In this scene we have focused on the facial expressions of the character and then proceeded for her to follow Maya through the woods, in this scene we have a voiceover which has been implemented in to convey similar themes to 'A song for your mixtape' which can be seen below. We are trying to convey the same effect and style of this short film, we also need to add some music reminiscent of the genre in this. Some music that would create tension and suspense, as well as being subtle enough to allow for the voiceover to be heard and understood. The music should also appeal to the fantasy/ drama / thriller genre we are trying to recreate.
