e. Example films of your genre  • Life is beautiful • Titanic  • Brokeback Mountain • Black Swan a What elements of the genre that you like? • Elements like the suspense and tragedy of real life events of the film caught my attention. The tragic flaw which causes the event and how this particular film exposed a true event and added the suspense only to lead up to the tragic flaw, the desire to win above all. Some thing like that is what should be highlighted in our film. The props and everything made the story even more heart breaking, spreading awareness.  

a What elements of the genre do not appeal to you? • • Of course, the actual drama of the film is nothing to appeal one, but the element that didn't really fit what the pitch follows is the majority of the props and setting. For the film, these elements will differ, along with the costumes and makeup.
