research on our chosen genre

For our film opening, we are looking at doing a thriller-fantasy. We know that thrillers use suspense, tension and excitement as the main elements in order to portray their genre to the audience. However, as we are adding the fantasy theme into our film opening, it will calm down the big elements that we would have to do in order to make our film a proper thriller. Fantasy usually involves magic, supernatural events, make-believe creatures or exotic fantasy worlds. We think this will be a different genre to do as we haven't witnessed anyone else do the thriller-fantasy genre for their AS Media film opening project as usually people do horrors or romantic film genres for their opening. We chose to do a thriller instead of a horror as there would be a lot of equipment that would have to be used in order to make that genre work well and it wouldn't look very realistic. So we decided on a thriller-fantasy as we think we can make it look creepy and look really good if we do everything successfully.
