Thriller or Drama

During this week I have been trying to decide between these two genres. I have question myself why thriller? Or why drama? 

• Thriller

The genre of thriller is known for having the audience in the edge of their seats, building the plot towards the climax. These films are characterized for presenting danger on the main characters. The characters for this type of movies are criminals, stalkers, prison inmates, and characters with a dark past, terrorist, cops, escape cops and more. A sub-genre of thriller is crime thriller this sub-genre incorporates the suspense aspects of the thriller but with a crime film plot. The characters for these types of films are serial killer, murderer, robbery or others. In difference of the thriller this focus in both the criminal and the protagonist. What I like from the thriller films is that every time something is going on, and that keeps the audience engage in the film.

This two examples ¨The Purge¨ and ¨The Gift¨ are a good example of a thriller movie and how they keep the audience engage at all time.

• Drama

The drama films are presented as a serious story portraying realistic characters that have a problem either with themselves or others. The drama films show humans from different perspective being at their best, their worst and in the middle of this two. Drama fills often include current issues, problems, injustices, drug addition, poverty and many others. These type of film aims to tell an honest story of human struggles.

Wacthing this excerpt some ideas came up to my mind of what to make for my film opening.  I had two ideas, the first one is about a pair of twins that got adopted to different families. One of the twins has the dream live but the other twin didn't get very lucky and her parents are poor and they treat her bad. The second idea I thought of is about media and the press. I was thinking of a press company that have a important information about the government and they released because of money. I will elaborate more on this ideas and present the one I like the most in a couple of weeks.
