Research into our chosen genre.
As we wanted to do a film that was of the mystery/fantasy genre I have decided to do a bit of research into these genres.
Mystery:
Mystery is often associated with the crime genre however it is considered its own genre in certain circumstances where the focus is on supernatural mystery. The first use of "mystery" in this sense was by Dime Mystery, which started out as an ordinary crime fiction magazine but switched to "weird menace" during the latter part of 1933. The general plot of a mystery is that there is a crime that needs solving, it usually involves someone who is trying to solve a crime/mystery (The protagonist) and the rest of the characters are normally suspects.
Some examples of films that came up under the genre mystery are:
Fantasy:
Fantasy is about magic or supernatural, the fantasy genre can be split into several sub genres such Contemporary fantasy; this is where it is set in the present day but magic and supernatural creatures exist either living in our world or coming in from an alternate world. Fairy Tales; This is all about magical made up creatures and environments. Science Fantasy; this is where the story has mystical elements that are explained by science or combines fantasy elements and science fiction elements. As well as many more.

Final idea
After looking at our questionnaire results we decided that our film opening should be of the mystery/fantasy genre as these were the two genres that were the most popular.
We have decided that our final idea will be:
A girl who is murdered and comes back as a ghost, she can not move on until she finds out who murdered her and why. The opening would start with her hanging out with her friends and just having a nice time. Then she would leave to go home, while walking home she would be murdered and it would maybe show her looking down at her body. Everything would cut the black and the title of the film would appear.
