My product uses the fantasy styles and genres with a conventional child sleeping and entering his dreams (which are normally troubled). This technique or style ranges from traditional fantasy films and more contemporary or modern films like 'Coraline' which I was inspired by. I feel 'In-Mind Louis' does take further and develop the forms of the mainstream fantasy genre though. I took my influences from fantasy films such as 'Edward Scissorhands' which I was strongly inspired by and I think is a contemporary fantasy masterpiece laying the conventions for fantasy films today even though it was made two decades ago.
From my finished product I realised that most fantasy films have numerous fairytale elements and are rare in horror or psychological elements. I noticed that without being too slelf indulgent, naturally from my personality and personal interests in music and art and so on. I added a psychological or almost horror feel, as the edge of fear has always interested me. I'm challenging conventions of the fantasy genre here by adding elements of these genres. Maybe this does not happen because its hard marketing a film with mixed genres & big studios do not welcome it. An example of this is Donnie Darko's failed marketing where the film was marketed as a horror film, when it was a psychological thriller. Maybe my intro has these elements because I was making it from numerous film influences with no one else in mind like a big studio or anything.
