Movie Conventions; Knives out

Welcome back Gems, the (re)search is over. Last time we discussed genre. Today it's all about movies that have done it. I've watch them and took notes so let's get into this.

Elements that were shown in Knives Out that we will be using in our final task will be the sense of suspense and tension, other elements would be plot twists, red herrings, flashbacks, a whodunit type of structure, and just in general the visual style of the film, like the angles that will be taken, the music we decide to use in the film and also the script that will be set up to create the mood.

Some convections of mystery that I liked within the movie were the whodunit structure because the movie provides clues, red herrings, and misdirection, making me feel like I was part of the movie too, and I was trying to solve the mystery. Another convection I really enjoy would be the clever plot twist the movie had because even if I thought I knew who did the crime, it took a whole different direction and I was left speechless.

A convection I did not like within this movie was the tone it gave off, the tone the movie gave off was very sarcastic, and it had witty jokes, which I believe took away from the serious tone of the movie that makes people hooked because they do not know what to expect but with a more jokingly type of tone, it makes the audience feel more relaxed. Which I would not like to do in the film, I want to keep it in a more serious, tone.


Well that's all the research I have for you. I'll see you in the next one. 
Sincerely,

CCR

  Hey I’m so glad you called. So… I can totally answer that. So for our movie, our project, the fair game, we used voice over to allow a clearer sound for our movie. So when we were filming we had a lot of sound defects being that the place was so popular and it was so full and there was a lot of people. A that means there was a lot of sound and noise coming through. we used voiceover using voice memo to allow for a cleaner sound. So we all recorded our individual lines and we recorded them separately. and then we sent them to each other, therefore, they could be layered and merge together like a proper conversation. so to allow that, it couldn’t just be you saying every single line just like just running through it, it wouldn’t flow like a proper conversation. so we had to film line and that would be the end of the recording. film the line stop end the recording. another line stop. send it to each other therefore it could be layered with the other person’s so it can a conversation...
