Plan of possible genre of the film

I looked at the possible genres that I could use for my Short film and possible narratives based around them. Some would simply not work in the 5 minutes I am entitled to create my piece, these are simply crossed out in the list below.



Action
Adveture
Animation --> This could make it into a short cartoon clip, or perhaps a cutout collage like South Park animation, or it could be a stop-and-go animation though this may take a while.
Biography
Comedy --> This genre can be quite hard to do, as it may try to hard to be funny, but can be merged in without other genres.
Crime --> This would be a quick 'solve the murder' film, perhaps begining with the scene of the crimer taking place, keeping the person who did it a mystery.
Documentary --> This would be the easiest option for the short amount of time I have for this short. It could be a documentary about school, a workplace of perhaps someone interesting.
Drama --> This is a broad genre, which would allow me to incorporate other genres and I would then have more to play with. This could be a romantic drama or family drama, revolving around the main protagonist; perhaps a teenager as we are looking at the representation of youth.
Family --> This coicides with the 'drama' genre, whereby there could be family problems between the parents e.g. an abusive dad or the child could be a rebel which would be tearing the family apart.
Fantasy
Film-Noir --> This could incorporate the 'crime' genre, and could made quite 'old school' whereby it would be a black and white film, with actors in costumes from the time.
Game-Show --> This could perhaps be a shortened version of 'Slumdog Millionaire', whereby it would be based on a game show, where there could be flashbacks helping the contender to answer the questions or play whatever the game is.
History
Horror
Music --> This could show a teenager wanting to become something in the music industry, and maybe having their family not approve.
Musical
Mystery
News
Reality-TV
Romance --> A short love story, showing a first encounter, first love or teenage love, perhaps highlighting aspects such as (first time)
Sci-Fi
Short
Sport
Talk-Show
Thriller
War --> This could show the homecoming of a soldier, maybe showing how hard it is to readjust to normal society and back to the normal responsibilities of life, and perhaps the soldier may have problems sleeping as he keeps thinking about the war and everything he went through.
Western


Due to the limited time of 5 minutes for the entire film, it is important to chose an appropriate genre for the film, for instance, I don't think the action genre would be good as I don't feel that is enough time to build on the climax and make it effective in 5 mins.
