 My Title is going to summarize the movie without giving away the plot. Usually titles are captivating and grab a persons attention. I will complete this task by giving the movie mystery, this will be done by having a vague title. Given that my movie will be about a paranoid person and their struggle between reality and illusion, the title will revolve around this. Given my goal I am going to make my title " Paranoia- Reality or Illusion?" This title will be shown for about 2.5 seconds followed by the credits. In the credits my name will be the only one, so for the director, it will state, "Directed by Julian Costa". The title and other words will fade when they disappear. 

 I have talked about 3 main genres in film, romance, mystery, and action. Each one is very popular today in film, and in my personal list of favorite genres. For my film I will be mostly focused on mystery. The mystery surrounding my film is the main characters paranoia. Finding the difference between what is real and what the main character is overthinking makes it a mystery. Personally, if I had to narrow it down action is my favorite genre. Although it is my favorite, it would be a lot of extra work to make it my film. So, I went with the genre of mystery. My film being about mystery is a lot more doable given it’s just me in my group. Along with this, mystery is my second favorite genre.  Usually, a film under the genre of mystery leads to an answer. For my film, the answer will not be given. The “answer” will be up to the viewer to determine whether the main character is simply making all of this up in his head. I think doing this will give my film even more of a mystery aspect to

  Romance, a genre that attracts all. Movies since the beginning of film making, have focused on this core concept. In real life, romance involves every single person that has and will exist. This fact alone makes it an attraction in film. Romance brings the highest of highs and lowest of lows, this is the same in film.  Given the emotions people feel from real life romance and relationships, film has a way of exploiting this. Many of the most watched films have been under the genre of romance. Films will use people’s feelings in their real life relationships and broadcast them in a fictional film, captivating the watchers attention. An example of this is heartbreak. Almost everyone has experienced a heartbreak of some sort in their lifetime, this creates a connection between person and film. Another way film exploits people’s emotions in terms of romance is cheating. Often in romance movies, the main character is involved in cheating. Not only does this create a love triangle which vi

 I have spoken about genres and how they are all different. In my last blog I spoke about the genre of Mystery. Mystery is quite captivating, but what may be more captivating is action. Along with mystery movies and series, action is the most watched and entertained genre. 90% of the top movies are action.  You may ask yourself, why is action so loved? The answer is that people live vicariously through movies. People watch action movies because they get pleasure out of seeing people do what they’d like to be doing. People also like to see things that they can’t safely do in real life. This often takes form in them watching movies that often results in a lot of death. A good example of this is Rambo. Rambo is a story based on an ex-military lone wolf trying to assimilate himself back into America. At this point, America doesn’t value the military post Vietnam. Rambo goes rogue in a small town after facing discrimination , resulting in a lot of violence and death. People that like Rambo
