Genre Research

The genre for my film is a hybrid, this is because it falls into more than one category. It comes under crime, drama and also an element of action. As i've chosen my film to be based on the football violence culture, i've researched similar films to analyse what my chosen genre includes.



Rise of the Footsoldier: 2007

Dir. Julian Gilbey

Rise of the Footsoldier was a good film to help me with my genre research, as it is the same hybrid genre as my fictional film. It isn't based around the football violence culture completely, but contains an element of it. This film is quite gritty, in the sense that it's very detailed in the violence scenes, this is something that i won't be able to achieve as i don't have the special effects to do it. I think that in my chosen genre type, it's the fighting scenes that will prove to be my biggest obstacle.
