Which Genre and Sub-genres will your short-film depict?

Costumes/Props: journal, phone which contains texts of her past.
Lighting: Colour and light starts rather bland at beginning of movie, then as she becomes happy the light and colour increases to make it more vibrant.
Style of acting: Our character starts off rather bland and sad as she feels she is useless. Then gradually becomes more confident and happy as she s believes that’s what her mum would have wanted. For her to continue living a happy, peaceful life. And to not ponder on the past.
Justify the specific cinematography techniques you intend using to develop your narrative and establish the genre.
-At beginning, our character is in front of a bland wall, curled up, sitting by herself, scrolling through pictures of her past times on her phone. Some people walk by happy, she looks, and is jealous of their happiness. All this happening while we slowly zoom, coming forward from a very long shot of her in front of wall, looking weak.
-Then we capture her scrolling through photos on phone till she stops upon a photo of her and her now dead mother. This triggers something inside of her.
Outline any other methods how you intend to develop the narrative without using dialogue.
She will be upset, and her texts with her mum will covey the narrative.
