Genre Research: Choosing a Thriller

Throughout our thorough research of different genres, we have finally selected one for our movie. We have decided on a Thriller. It embodies the suspense and interactivity with the audience that we wanted. We also feel the genre is a large umbrella idea that we can add horror, comedy, and drama aspects to as long as we keep the plot developing with suspense and tension for the audience. Our movie, Hit(wo)man, will have both mental and physical aspects of the Thriller genre. Movies with a female lead are becoming more and more popular in today's film industry so, we wanted to film our movie in a genre where they aren't many female-lead movies. Due to the graphic storyline, vulnerability shown from main characters, and central dilemma expressed we felt a thriller would best hold up our movie.
