Genre Research: Mystery

Hey guys welcome to or welcome back to my blog!!

In todays blog I will be telling you about what I learned from researching mystery movies.

 Common camera angles in mystery movies are low angles. Some common camera movements are zoom ins and tracking, and common shots in mystery movies are long shots, medium-shots, and close-ups.

Costumes used in mystery films are dark colors, long jackets, hats, suits, dresses, and hoodies. Some colors used for females are red. Lighting that is often used in mystery films are dim lights and shadows. Acting that is seen a lot is problem solvers and confused characters. Common makeup is fake blood, bruises and cuts. Props that are often used are weapons', magnifying glass. Sets include, abandoned houses, forest, dark areas, small towns and basements.

Editing seen a lot in mysteries are jump-cuts and fade ins

Common sound used in mysteries are dialogue and diegetic sound

Some examples of mystery movies are: Missing, They Cloned Tyrone, Insidious and The Red Door.

Some of the elements I like and would use are jump-cuts, diegetic sound, dark colors, and dim lighting.

Some elements I don't like and would not use is the blood.

Todays is about the editing ones. My group member Annabel and I re-edited it in class together so that we could both easily incorporate ideas.

Another thing she mentioned was that it needed some background music at the end where "Ava" gets taken because it felt empty. After watc...

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog!! In the previous blog I told you about how I added my pictures and what I did to cut down the time. In todays blog I am going to be telling you what I have completed since then. When school ended I went home and started to  work on the commercial. I saved the videos into my favorites folder so that they would be easier to find when I got to this point.  I first started with cheer. I selected the video of me cheering and cut it down to the part where I did my solo. After that I added a couple pictures of me cheering on top so it wouldn’t be as boring. After that I added a blank black screen. That is to help me with transitioning into the next topic. I plan to do a voice over on some of the parts so the screen would help with that too. Next, I repeated the same process, but instead of it being cheer it was my YouTube channel. On the blank screen I added a couple of my YouTube thumbnails. It brought more to the screen and was...
