Genre

The genre of our film is gritty thriller. This is because we have a chase seen which gets the hearts of the audience pumping faster as tension and mystery is built as we are only shown flashbacks of why she is running, creating enigmas. It is also gritty as it is set in a dark bleak woods, making it realistic and scarier for the viewer. Genres are vague categories with no fixed boundaries, they are formed by sets of conventions, and many works cross into multiple genres by way of borrowing and recombining these conventions. Similar distinctions separate the thriller from other overlapping genres: adventure, spy, legal, war, maritime fiction, and so on. Thrillers are defined not by their subject matter but by their approach to it. Thrillers are made to excite the audience and draw them into the film.
