I am looking at different genres as a basis of my short film. Anuvahood is a parody of both Adulthood and Kidulthood. I like the fact it is making a light situation out of heavy cause. Something I will be looking at portraying later on when I make my own production. What I am hoping to do in my own production is to show the urban life in a mix of both serious through a way in which most people can relate to I want the audience to understand like technology everything is changing and how the society is no exception. The difference between this film and a film of the likes of Adulthood is that although they are both the same genre the way film directors took a different approach to the matter. One is a comical projection of the urban life and the other is a bit more violent, a bit more action packed. Which just goes to show that although your given the genre "Action" or "Drama" there is the obvious way to portray the subject or you can think a bit more out the box and take a different approach and stand out which is what I intend to do.
A good choice of genre! What other films are parodies? What about the Friday films?
