Genre?

[xoxoxoxovy]

How do I know what genre my movie falls under? I can safely rule out comedy, horror, scifi, documentry, romance,action, adventure, fantasy, could be a drama or thriller I guess? Maybe a better question is what's the difference btween drama and thriller? What about urban? Is that a genre?

The way you can tell if your script is a thriller and not a drama (although there are certainly similiar elements in all of the genres) is by seeing if it hits the "traditional" blue print for a thriller. Usually a thriller involves a normal man or woman who is put in an extraodinary situation where they must rise above their "normal" life to overcome something.  Usually what they need to overcome initially involves them but if they do not stop, say the killer or terrorist for example, then it will mean doom to more and more people.

As for the Urban...You could say that Urban is part of a genre.  I've heard of an Urban drama or an Urban thriller for example.  Hope that helps.

Yes it did I didn't even think of the possibility of an Urban Drama that's exactly what it would be.
