After we went to the basics of a film and began brainstorming the genre and target audience for our project. We took into account the difficulty of our acting, the setting, and what would be able to capture the audiences attention in the short opening. We decided that our film would be a thriller/suspense film. Through some research, I found that thriller/suspense films were the 5th most profitable from 1995-2016. That info can be found here.

We will pick back up tomorrow and research more on these types of films, what typical characteristics they need to have, and maybe even begin plotting out the beginning of our film opening.
