Favourite Genres

I am mostly interested in genres like, psychological thriller mystery movies, because of the way the movie is made, like satanism, or a person that has a bad past and start killing people. I love these type of movie genres because they are so interesting, and they are really mind blowing when you watch them, you just want to know how its coming next, as it contains major twists in the movie, unlike boring romance films or some horror films, because sometimes they are predictable, whereas the pschological thriller films wont really get off your sit.

A Pyschological Thriller film, which is one of my favourites as this film influenced me about watching pyschological films.

A Pyschological Thriller/Horror Movie, with an amazing twist, one of my favourite japanese movies!

As much as i love pyschological films, i also have an interest to comedy films. As in my opnion, it can fully take my stress out, by laughing along with other people, as we watch comedy films.

Storyboard Idea for my Opening Sequence -

The Story:

It is about a guy, who lost his little sister in a murder crime. So now the guy has the obsession of killing girls, because they remind him of his own little sister, he also cuts their hairs and puts it in his album. The Album contains pictures and houses of the girls as well as their hairs.

Even better if, I fully researched the conventions of film noir.
