Mystery research

Welcome back Gems.

Today I did all the searching for y'all so let's get into this. The genre being researched is mystery.

High-angle shots, low-angle shots, and long shots are common in mystery movies. Common camera movements would be, long tracking shots and tight tracking shots. Common shots would be, Close-ups, medium shots, and wide shots.

Common Mis-En-Scenes would be foreboding settings like mysterious environments, such as dark woods, abandoned buildings, and secluded mansions. Red herrings like misleading clues and false suspects. Characters with secrets, such as dark pasts, hidden motives, and hidden identities. A twist ending is often used to maintain audience interest.

Common editing would be jump cuts, flash cuts, cross dissolves, low motion, and montage sequences.

Common sounds would be Tension-building sounds, such as eerie music, atmospheric sound effects, and quiet moments of silence. The use of silence can be very effective in creating a sense of tension and uncertainty. Dialogue can be used to reveal key pieces of information.

Some examples of mystery movies are Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express, The Silence of the Lambs, Zodiac, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Seven, and Knives Out.

Elements I like is an intriguing mystery with twists and turns that can create a sense of suspense and tension. Well-written characters with different personalities, motivations, and secrets keep me connected with the characters.

Elements I do not like are slow-paced mystery movies that can be boring, movies that take too long to build tension, and too many red herrings that become confusing and can leave me feeling frustrated or lost.

Well that's all I have for you. Later Gems.

Sincerely,

Production: Filming; The Man in the Mirror (maze)

Hey Gems. Welcome back as promised here is the blog were I felt everything went wrong. But we'll get into that. This blog is not A Glimpse in my Chaotic Mind, because I wouldn't have done that, rather a look into someone else's mind. Let's just get into this. First how do you work at a fair and have the most unapproachable attitude I have ever seen in my whole 16 years of living. Like if you don't like people don't work at fair. Like hello. So as y’all know the mirror maze was a major part of our film. Yes I’m using past tense because that dream came crashing down real quick. So. we mostly filmed in order of the scenes. We beforehand asked each ride or game attendee can we film. When we asked Mr. Attitude’s response was “no, how many?” Then when we were trying to explain the situation to him he just scanned the game-card and told us to go in. However we were what for it to clear so we could get a good take. He doesn’t care at all. Now that we had captured the ...

Production; Wrapped in black

Hey Gems. I hope you enjoyed my rant about about motorcycles last blog. Today's blog is going to be less aggressive. Yes, I know the title is deceiving. But what do you expect when this is a glimpse into my chaotic mind. However today is all about my costume. Let's get into this. My character Amanda (spoiler) is the stalker so we decided all black would be the best option. A hoodie was also included in the outfit as to make to reveal more dramatic. Shall we break this outfit down like they do on the red carpet. A black hoodie that was slightly oversized to have a hood that would cover my face. The face covering that was actually a black scarf which was used instead of a face mask. And I think the worst decision made on my part, black boots with an wedge. Don't get me wrong I love my boots but as a stalker running around a fair, a pair of Converses would have been a relief. The hoodie and boots were paired with dark blue jeans. Side note the nails ...
