Trailer Sub Genre

My film synopsis would most likely fall under the fantasy sub genre, Magic realism because it blurs the distinction between realism and fantasy by showing an equal acceptance of the ordinary and the extraordinary. It does this by merging the idea of past lives- that is still debated over their existence- and the real world.

The film may also contain elements of alternative history as one of the ideas in the film will be that the evil character Lorcan was the “evil” people throughouthistory such as Hitler, but the elements of this are not the main feature of the trailer so I will categorize it as Magic Realism.

Definition:

"A chiefly literary style or genre originating in Latin America that combines fantastic or dreamlike elements with realism."
