Genre Research Blog

 Another Genre I am researching is Mystery. A mystery film is a genre of film revolving around a problem or a crime. Mystery can also be referred to as detective fiction. The genre Mystery can include high angles with tilted cameras, different light exposures, or just any creative lighting during the film. I feel like mystery is such an entertaining genre, especially how I could give the audience room for creative thoughts. Since the lack of knowledge creates suspense. The only thoughts that have me worried about this genre are how would i like to make my film different, and original and not make the genre look too similar to horror. common sounds used in the genre mystery are creepy music, slow music, and small background noises that can be interpreted as creepy. Two mystery opening sequence examples that I liked were, 'Dark City' (1998) and 'Knives Out'. Both of these opening sequences are nicely done and inspiring for my ideas for my film.

Research time

 Sunday Morning - Maroon 5.  cams: In the beginning of the music video you also notice lots of close-up shots. Such as a close up of a females eye. As well, as while he is singing. They cut into a close up to him singing. They switch from close-ups and medium shot.  editing: This video also gives an amazing example of cross cutting. Such as cutting from him singing on stage, to the audiences dancing towards the music  sound: They used a voice- over. especially  on the parts with the audience dancing, or he is dancing on stage.  Mis-en scene-: In the beginning of the music video you can notice they used props, such as inserting a disk into a player. Such as people wearing party masks throughout the video.  Rock With you by Micheal Jackson.  Cams: Through-out the video, they do close- up shots. Such as close-ups of his microphone, eyes, or his outfit. They used more eye-level angles.  editing: They do cut away editing, then close-up to either h...

My Pitch

Pitch A- Flickering Christmas lights all over the desk as the wind blows the pages of the book to a specific page that has words that contribute to something later on.  Pitch B- A man who won't show his face observes a woman with red heels through her living room window on Christmas morning. Discuss Pitch A- Showing the words on the page of the book gives the opening sequence suspense and plot. I would like to make this opening sequence as I could have this set up simply at my house. With the Christmas lights showing I could have this movie idea turn in any direction I would like to.  Discuss Pitch B- I would like to create this film because it creates a little suspense on who this man is and the relation of this man to this woman. Also, the red shoes are incorporated into this film. Is the man watching the woman or the red heels? As well as the reason for his pen and paper. I feel like this film is harder to accomplish, however, I like the idea of suspense and creativity I'm ...

Title Research: Bones

Image
 The opening Title Sequence to the movie Bones. The letters are creepy and the opening sequence starts off with two men with coats and sunglasses. As this was an idea I had wanted to add to my opening sequence I love how this opening sequence interpreted it. The letters were shown and were creepy, the men were giving people money, but they gave a creepy and suspicious aspect. With also editing tools, the screen glitches up giving off a scary sense to the audience. I loved how this opening sequence went about, as this was not a classic horror opening title sequence.
