Genre?

Typically it is very hard to fit any short film into a certain genre, this is the same with ours. This is because our plot has elements of a lot of different genres. The Genres our short film loosely fit into the genres Mystery, Thriller and Horror as our plot involves a supernatural mirror and the scene at the end showing a morbid future this has strong hints of horror. However the rest of  the movie is kind of mystery/thriller as they find a mysterious object and experiment with it, also we are going to use non-diegetic sound to build up suspense towards the end of the film and to convey different emotions. The fact our short story doesn't have a particular category it fits into , means we wont have any particular group of conventions we can put into our short film.
