Choseing the genre of my 2 minute short film could be a difficult process, so to do it i will have to carefully disect each genre, statrting now.
Now lets start with the good old Romance or RomCom (personaly i call WrongComs), the whole boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl in the end thing makes me want to punk, i absolutly hate Romance films, so thats off the table.
Lets move onto crime, a slight embaresment is that i have NEVER watch a crime film in its entirity, ive been meaning to watch a few Hitchcock's but i never got around to it so that ones out as well.
Ahh the horror genre, responcible for the rapid evacuation of many bowls and bladders (or at least it wants to think so). While i am a fan of the genre, with Aliens being one of my all time favorite films (its horror okay, dont try to tell me its more of an action film) it has been done irrepareable harm in the last few years by the Twilight (gags) franchise, that has forever ruined the badassery of vampires and werewolves and so has killed any chance of me making a horror short! Thanks Twilight.
Oh goodie now we hit comedy, a gener populated with some of my favorite actors (Simon Pegg, Bill Baley etc.) has always remained a strong possibility, until that is it comes to the fact i have ripped off an un-godly ammount of one-liners from them. But its the best choice so far.
Now we come to the last one, the forever reliable action genre, source of income for retired wreastlers (im looking at you Dwane Jhonson) and ever loved by the box office, it forever has a place in my heart and for that reason allone, its on the table with comedy.
