When looking for my 5 films that fit into the genre it was very difficult as arthouse is hard to define and not very mainstream. The films mainly get released into privates cinemas and film festivals so to get your hands on them you have to pre order from speicalised sites.

Genre.
I have chosen the genre of arthouse!
"An art film is typically a serious, noncommercial, non-pornographic, independently made film aimed at a niche audience rather than a mass audience." Wickipedia 17.05.10
"Film critics and film studies scholars typically define an 'art film' as a '...canon of films and those formal qualities that mark them as different from mainstream Hollywood films' which includes, among other elements: a social realiserm style; an emphasis on the authorial expressivity of the director; and a focus on the thoughts and dreams of characters, rather than presenting a clear, goal-driven story. " Wickipedia 17.05.10
"Art-house films tend to be emotional works in which the main characters have unclear motives. After watching one of these films, many viewers are left emotionally drained from the roller coaster of feelings they have just experienced." Ehow article 17.05.10
From these quotes and reserach I have discovered that art house is a genre in its own right, therefore has no sub-genres. This really suits my ideas at the moment as the genre gives me the chance to be experimental with them, as it follows no conventions.

Original brief.
My options consisted of...
-A promotional package for a new film. Which would include a 30 second teaser trailer, a film magazine front cover and a poster for it.
-Or a short film in its entirety lasting 5 minutes, a poster for the film and a film magazine review page.
Out of these I have chosen to do the 5 minuit film. Although I am more familuar with trailors, I feel I want to create something with artistic merit and a 5 minuit film would enable me to create this. I have a deep interest into film and feel creating the review would suit my opinienated nature and also the poster I am already familiarised with due to our earlier foundation production. I understand that the resarch into 5 minuit films will be harder than a looking at mainstream trailers. But the fact that it will be more of a challenge will be more engaging for me to get into, as I want to create something less mainstream.
