This specific genre focuses on relatively normal people and the day-to-day issues they may face. This down-to-earth genre allows viewers to become extremely involved with these issues because, most likely, it is something they can relate to themselves. Additionally, unlike action, horror, or sci-fi films, most of the plot is character driven rather than more unordinary/fictional problems.
One popular example of a slice-of-life film is Moonlight. This film follows a boy, Chiron, throughout the stages of his life and how he deals with the rather challenging circumstances that he must face around him. This film is a great example of how slice-of-life films are because the problems that Chiron faces aren't driven by unlikely/impossible things. This movie, although an extremely heavy subject, is something that many people can relate to in one way or another.
Although our film won't be addressing the heavy topics that Moonlight did, we can still learn from it. Our film will likely be targeted toward teenagers, as most slice-of-life films are. Our film will most likely include a coming-of-age aspect to it and might have a few jokes scattered throughout, especially because of our target audience.
Overall, we thought that this category would be the best for our budget, we will continue back to the drawing board to find more specific ideas, but for now, we have decided on our genre.
