Portfolio Project Genre #2

Genre 2: Sports

    Sports, while being a completely different idea to romance, it can work as a great second option in case my original idea does not work. This genre usually appeals to teenagers and adults that consider themselves sports fans. This genre is undoubtedly dominated by males normally. However, just like romance, it can vary depending on the specific piece. These types of pieces can also catch the attention of people who are naturally drawn by topics of competition, motivation, and teamwork. While it is commonly understood that sports oriented pieces are primarily focused on athletic related achievements and conflicts, it is typically undermined the fact that a majority of the time, these movies focus deeply on character development and growth. Media that uses this genre is a majority of the time using a form of climax, building up the viewer till the end.

    Allot of the marketing for these pieces revolve around motivation and making the main character appear powerful, important, or victorious. It is rare to see these genre be used and the story line to not be based at least partially on true events. Although, like in all genres, there are of course exceptions. The fact that I will need to use some inspiration to properly execute then genre while still keeping is entirely original is a key determining factor that might sway me away from this being my first choice. Upon deeper analysis of these genre I have decided that while it is not completely out of the question as of now, this newly discovered information has made it less likely for me to seriously consider using it in my final project.

Two examples of sports oriented films are "Creed" and "Grand Turismo":
