So my partner, Clem, and I were brainstorming what genre to do for our film and we are between two. I think we are between romance and psychological drama, so I did some research on both.
Romance:
The most popular romance films include The Notebook (2004), a more recent one, Anyone But You (2023), and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003). The two most important elements that make every romance worth is a central love story and an happy and satisfying ending. The basic plot surrounds two people who fall in loe and sometimes struggle to be in the relationship itself, and writers add plot twists and changes to the storyline to alter it. Usually, the lovers who endure these emotional hardships end up with a happy ending, and make their relationship work. There are also many subgenres of romance such as: contemporary romance, erotic romance, historical romance, paranormal romance, romantic suspense, and more. (I got my information from here.)
Psychological Drama:
The other genre is psychological drama. This was my idea as I watched a movie called Waves (2019), which inspired my idea for this film opening in general. Another popular movie in this drama is Requiem for a Dream (2000). This genre is actually a subgenre of the drama genre in general, except this subgenre includes details of how the human mind works, a lot of emotions and psychological states in these movies. The subgenre focus on more of the characters inner thoughts, perspectives, motivations, and usually include complicated storylines and emotional depths. Psychological dramas usually aim to engage the audience’s emotional intelligence and emotions at the same time. (I honestly didnt find a lot of info for this as its a subgenre, but the site I used is this one.)
