Genre

This clip from Atonement uses a similar genre, of Drama and to an extent romance to the genre we would like to achieve in our film.

This scene particularly expresses this genre in its use of lighting and sound. The music is poignant and creates a sad emotional response in the audience and although our film won't necessarily be sad, we still want to create an emotional response in which the audience can relate to the main character of the film. The lighting of the film is quite dramatic and focuses on Briony by putting all the light on her and having darkness behind her.
