Introduction
In this blog post I am going to explore the Hollywood genre system and how I can use these ideas to help me with my opening sequence.
The Hollywood Genre System
The Hollywood genre system was developed by Robert C. Allen and Douglas Gomery. They stated that the classical Hollywood style is vital to representing character, setting, ect, to the audience. They feel that these ideals created what a film is supposed to look and feel like. They felt that each genres ideals varied but were still necessary to create a regulated variety in a cinema.
One of these is the narrative system, that has been adopted as it's aesthetic and ideological. It sticks to not only the general parameters of the Hollywood style, but also to the norms of the social system. This helps make any story more believable and relatable for an audience. This generic storyline also has a strong selling point, which means it is a hit with audiences. Certain phrases are used to describe the different types of this narrative system, such as "Thriller" or "Romantic Comedy". This phrases can be used to quickly grab viewers attention such as on the covers of magazines.

Conclusion
The Hollywood genre system has made me realize that I should have "Psychological Thriller" somewhere within my opening sequence, to grab viewers attention.
