Genre and Story Type

For the first week of planning my creative project I choose my genre of my film which is thriller/ mystery; I have chosen this as I already have a slight knowledge of the thriller genre as this was also the genre for my creative project in my first year in film studies therefore I already have an understanding and know what my film should involve.

I also choose my story type which is The Wanderer, this is about a character which arrives in a new place and discovers a problem associated with it. In facing the problem she reveals why she left the last place, then attempts to move on again. To gain more knowledge on this I will watch a film called Shane, directed by George Stevens 1953, as this will show me the shots they have used for various scenes when trying to deliver various emotions as well as the narrative in the film.
