Horror Pros:
=> Has the potential to be more dramatic
=> Able to foreshadow events a lot easier.
=> Locations could be more accessible eg. the typical establishing shot of the house
=> In my opinion it's a more engaging genre that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
=> Won't involve too many props- for my idea I'll just need a knife and some fake blood!
=> Will be able to have fun with costumes and makeup.
=> Can be achieved on a low budget.
Social Realism Pros:
=> Can be shot in daylight and still be effective
=> Don't have to play around with lighting
=> Don't have to show much of the plot in the opening sequence to make it successful.
=> This genre probably doesn't need too many props either, it depends on the narrative I
suppose.
=> Can be achieved on a low budget.
Horror Cons:
=> Danger of having it look like a trailer
=> The lighting will probably be more challenging to get right and portray the right tone.
=> Narrative is going to have to be thought out carefully
to typify with the genre if it's going to be successful in scaring the audience.
=> It's essential that the actors are good at acting as the genre usually focuses heavily on action rather than dialogue
Social Realism Cons:
=> Danger of having it look like a trailer
=> We live in a middle calss area, while ideally it would need to be shot in a run down area
to typify with the genre.
=> I'm not really comfortable with the heavy focus on violence and bad language that
seems to be present a lot in the genre
After weighing up the two genres it would seem that the positives and negatives are fairly even, and so am still happy with my choice to do Horror.
