The genre of our film is a mix between, drama and thriller expressing aspects of both genre's. We used refrences from films such as Witness and The Girl With The Dragon tattoo, as they go over the same thriller and crime drama conventions as us. We switched between the boundaries of genre's and shifting to become more permeable.
Audiences would enjoy watching our thriller because it shows a gritty reality in which people could relate to, our storyline is something that could happen and isnt to un-realistic, in our thriller we picked locations which seem gritty and grimey areas which people can relate to as there common area's in England, which brings the audience a look on the reality of these desolate discusting areas. Another reason the audience would enjoy our thriller is the fact that the girl in our film judges two boys for there appearence, when in reality they were not the ones she needed to look out for, and i feel the audience would be able to relate to that as lots of people judge others for what they look like, when in fact it could be anyone who has the sick twisted mind which enroll's into our thriller.
Our thriller has a good narrative pleasures, as there is a big twist in it, and also a mystery which is yet to be unsolved. Another thing our thriller brings is visual pleasures, but has a twist on that, as the visual pleasures are not always pleasant, but they show a gritty image, with a harsh reality on grimy areas. It also might add psychological pleasures as people could relate to some of the characters, like our character 'Stevie' who is always getting stereotyped for what he wears, I'm sure a large group of audience could relate to that which would give them a psychological pleasure as they would know what 'Stevie' was going through and in turn would make them feel great empathy for this character, also some female audience could have overprotective fathers who do not like them seeing certain boys, and when people can relate to a film they could enjoy it more.
Our thriller 'Fathers Day' would be more related to Indie films rather than mainstream as it has a low budget and not big name actors, the sort of film company's which would be interested in 'Fathers Day' would be 'Warp' and 'Working Title' as 'Fathers Day' has a unusual genre which is not really seen in such cinemas as Vue or Odeon, But more likely to be shown in more independent cinemas such as Cinema City. Unfortunately 'Fathers Day' would not appeal to all Indie audiences as our film does not have a brilliant niche factor to it.
Our thriller 'Fathers Day' would be more indie production based on other films like it such as Kidulthood and Adulthood, which would bring audiences more to our film with the success of other films like it. With hopefully the funding from some were like film4 or the UK film council, which are more likely to accept and deliberate with Indie films.
Our thriller adds a lot of different sub cultures into one including Mystery, Psychological and Realistic. With a twist at the end which keeps the audience interested and wanting to know the reasons why a father would attack his daughter, so i would list our thriller as a Psycho realist thriller. And as it has a wide range of sub cultures and genre's it would apply to a wide range of audiences.

Reservoir Dogs Case Study
Director - Quentin Tarantino
Characters- Harvey Keital , Steve Buscemi, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Chris Penn, and Lawrence Tierney
Proffesional review (BBC films) - 4 out of 5 stars
User Rating - 5 out of 5 stars
"Reservoir Dogs" is a supremely confident debut feature by writer and director Quentin Tarantino. And just like his follow up "Pulp Fiction", it generated the type of hype that it should struggle to justify. But it remains as shocking, perversely funny, and stylish as upon original release." (BBC Review)
This is another Quentin Tarantino film and was originally submitted for film classification in June 1992, and it gained alot of notice in a mix of film festivals. Its compilation of criminal behaviour, cool style cultures and exciting story of a bunch of thieves who fall out after a botched robbery, the story brang excitement and addrenaline to the viewers.
In this scene Tarantino uses alot of dark humor, which he uses in alot of his films. By saying things like "i hope you enjoyed that as much as i did" and saying "now dont you go anywere, even though the man was tied to a chair, all of this humor is seen as dark humor which is defined as a sub-genre of comedy and satire in which topics and events that are usually regarded as taboo are treated in a satirical or humorous manner while retaining their seriousness. Synonyms include dark comedy, black humor, dark humor, and morbid humor. which tarantino uses very well in this films. How one man is dancing along to very happy cheerfull music as he is about to kill another man, brings a horrible sense of reality and adds a sick twisted nature which is played so well by his character (Mr Blonde). As you cant see the police mans ear being cut off, the scene is made visual by just the sounds being made by the person in pain, which How he is dancing and singing while throwing petrol on him about to burn him to death, as if he was mocking him, as if to say i'm so happy with the crime im about to comit.
Although strong, much of the violence in the film, such as that which occurs during the robbery, happens off screen or is limited to the climactic shootout at the warehouse and the strength of such ‘gangster’-related violence had been precedented in films such as Goodfellas.
This scene can be referenced to pulp fiction as they both start in a diner, and both have inter scene references.
