Brainstorm of work already out there..

Romantic Drama/Thriller

What's already out there?

• Titanic (1997), directed by David Cameron
• Pearl Harbour (2001), directed by Michael Bay
• Brokeback Mountain (2005), directed by Ang Lee
• The Lovely Bones (2009), directed by Peter Jackson
• The Lake House (2006), directed by Alejandro Agresti
• Ghost (1990), directed by Jerry Zucker
• Atonement (2007), directed by Joe Wright
• Romeo and Juliet (1996), directed by Baz Luhrmann

All very different films but come under the same genres: Romantic drama or thriller. The release dates vary and all by different directors.

I have chosen to work with this genre as i enjoy watching these types of films and find there can be lots of very varied story lines which i think keeps it interesting. You do not feel as if you are watching the same film over and over as some other genres may make you feel as they can be very similar. For example, all the films I named above are very different but similar in ways, they all involve romance but:

• Brokeback Mountain twists the typical 'love story',
• Pearl Harbour is a war film,
• Titanic being based on a true story,
• The Lovely Bones exploring life and death.

I feel this gives me the chance to mix a few different ideas and maybe include a few hidden twists!
