Why chosen this Genre?

• We choose this genre because it involves settings or life situations that portray realistic characters with lots of emotions which we can relate to it or attempt to understand...

• and having the theme bulimia we can portray lots of emotions as it is a real life issue.

• To make more exciting and bring out the audience emotions we decided to add thriller to get them more involved and as thriller leaves that mysterious moments it will be easier to create enigma on our opening sequence.
