One of the genres that my film could fall under is horror. Horror films tend to take place in an isolated, and often dark, location with few people involved in the narrative, the characters being the protagonist (usually a victim) and an antagonist (some form of evil). This then creates an effect of tension and fear as the characters are completely seperated from the rest of the world which the audience are most comfortable with. The camera shots used within the films also add to the horror effect as quite often they will be handheld which immediately puts the audience on edge as the shot will be quite shakey and they will not completely understand what is happening in the scene.
This is then closely related to another genre my film could be associated with and that is supernatural/paranormal. From my knowledge of this genre it usually contains a distorted or twisted view on reality in some form. The genre tends to feature supernatural beings or other situations that the main character/s find themselves in that breaks away from our knowledge of the world and makes the audience think about the possibilty of these actually existing or happening. A genre like this is there to directly involve the audience as they are drawn in by such abnormal situations and are then completely engrossed in the storyline.
