So recently, I have been thinking of what genre I want to do for my portfolio project but I have had problems on whether to do thriller or social realism, so for this research post, I am comparing social realism and thriller to help me come to a decision. Both genres focus on serious topics, but they tell stories in very different ways.
Social realism focuses on showing real-life situations as purely as possible. These films often show everyday struggles like poverty, inequality, or family issues. The acting, lighting, and locations are very realistic, and the stories usually feel slow and down-to-earth. While social realism is meaningful, it does not always create excitement or suspense.
Thriller films, on the other hand, focus on tension, danger, and mystery. Thrillers keep the audience constantly guessing about what will happen next. They use scary and suspenseful music, dark lighting, and fast pacing to create suspense. Even when the story is realistic, thrillers are designed to make the audience feel anxious and engaged.
I chose thriller over social realism because I want my project to be entertaining for the audience and make sure I have their attention throughout the whole opening. I like how thrillers build suspense and emotion through pacing and mystery. While social realism is powerful, thriller allows me to be more creative with tension, camera techniques, and sound design. Overall, thriller fits my preferences better, which is why I chose it as my final genre.
