Genre Importance, Genre and sub- genres

Genre Importance

Genre is important to the viewing audience because people have different opinions and different tastes in the show they watch.

It will be helpful to me because it helps me to understand my target audience and it helps grab our target audience's attention.

We will not break any conventions because it is easier.

Genre and sub-genres

Our initial choices of genre are crime drama and comedy. 

Comedy.

Positives	Negatives
It is not very expensive to create	It is very difficult to  make people laugh
Easy to find props	No access to professional locations.
Not a lot of risks	Difficult to find actors who are funny

Crime Drama

Positives	Negatives
Easy to write a mystery script	Very difficult to find suitable locations
Easy to act mysterious	Very risky to use props without causing suspicion.
Easy to find props	Editing techniques and camera angles are difficult.
We can control how the viewing audience  interprets the opening scene. For example, we can show them that a crime was committed but not who committed it.	A lot of risks if the weapons are real.

We have chosen to do crime drama because it is easier to write a mystery script and it is easier to make the audience see what we want them to see. (preferred reading.)
