The Genre We Chose: Thriller

 Based on the group's vote, we chose thriller. The research we collected allowed us to incorporate suspense and excitement to the audience. This conclusion was reached based on the simple fact that our main protagonist of the opening sequence will be harmed out of the audience's view, leading them to wonder what will happens later on in the film. To reiterate, the goal of thriller genre is to bring out emotions from many twists and turns to viewers. Fortunately, all thrillers have dark settings with one dark evil character. In conclusion, picking thriller allows our group to successfully implement our ideas to make a opening sequence that prevents the crowd from foreshadowing what they suspect to happen next.

Our first question today is; how does Cold Case engage with audiences.   The foundation of "Cold Case's" engagement lies in its ability to forge a deep, emotional connection with its audience. This connection is c reated through the film's focus on five friends exploring an abandoned ice rink, a premise that is both relatable and builds a potential for tension and horror. By choosing characters that viewers can see reflections of themselves in, the film allows you to put yourself into the situation of the characters . The horror and suspense are n’t just limit ed to the screen; they resonate on a personal level, tapping into the universal fear of the unknown.   Moreover, the found footage style of "Cold Case" serves as a powerful tool for imme
