Genre Research

Our particular film is hard to designate one particular genre. Below are 3 different genres of film which I believe are present in our film idea. These genres may well change when we look at the final product.
Drama
Our film sort of fits into the genre of 'Drama' as we see something problematic happens within the story, and it has to be resolved. A drama is typically revolved around real world characters looking at real world problems. You could argue that the invisibility part of our film is not something that is a real world problem, yet the idea of the twins being an argument and having a rivalry after the death of a family member is a real world problem.
Examples of drama films would be;
Citizen Kane, Forrest Gump, The Shawshank Redemption.

Family
A family film is specifically designed to appeal to everybody in the family. The film entwined could well be this as we have younger characters, (around age 17) which young children could relate to, but also adults could see their point of view. Family films are designed to be bright and happy for the younger audience, but also have wittier jokes that can attract an adult audience. Again, our film not be considered 'bright' and 'happy' but with little 'pranks', this could keep a younger audience interesterd, as well as having a serious audience.
Examples of family films would be;
Dr.Dolittle, E.T, Home Alone.

Mystery
The main storyline behind a 'Mystery' film is that something out of the ordinary happens, and one of the other characters has to try and 'solve this mystery'. An other key aspect of a mystery, is that the audience knows what is going on, where characters in the film do not, and this is something that we will be doing with our short film. This genre relates most to our film, even though the characters in 'Entwined' don't know that Ryan has disappeared, it is eventually the emotion of Lewis that brings him back. The genre of 'Mystery' can relate back to the family and drama genre.
Examples of mystery films would be;
Freaky Friday, Inception, Psycho.
