For my portfolio project, I’m deciding between two genres: coming-of-age and mystery. Here’s what I’ve learned about each one.
Coming-of-Age
This genre centers on a young character's development or a significant life lesson. Usually, the plot revolves around friendships, change, or personal struggles.
My project might be about a character going through a significant transition, such as changing schools, navigating friendships, or making a significant decision, if I choose this genre. To convey feelings, I would use close-ups and warm tones.
Mystery
Mystery films focus on finding the truth, solving a mystery, or revealing secrets. They typically contain shocks, suspense, and hints.
If I decide on this genre, my project might have a character attempting to solve a minor puzzle, uncovering a secret message, or learning something surprising. To create tension, I would employ close-ups and darker lighting.
There is good storytelling potential in both genres. Whereas mystery is about solving a problem and keeping the audience guessing, coming-of-age is more about characters and feelings. I'll choose the best possible option for my project shortly.
