Which Genre?

At first, we all thought it might be fun to create a comedy, but felt that it is quite hard to do. So, after discounting Comedy, we decided to pick 2 other genres from the list and then undertake some research into the conventions before decided which genre, and then which Scenario, to work with.  We decided on the WESTERN and SOCIAL REALISM. The reason why we chose these two is because Western's have very recognisable, if a little cliched, camera conventions which we enjoyed.  We also decided on Social Realism as it is an interesting genre and it's coventions of location and mise-en-scene would have been easier for us to do.
