genre research: mystery

Mystery Research Blog (Ashley) • Angles, shots, and movement o Close ups and extreme close ups show emotion. Emotion comes from the actors eyes, so the closer the camera is to the face, the more emotion is displayed. o High angle shots are used to make a character feel uncomfortable or out of control o Low angle shots are used to give a character power, give the feeling that they are on a pedestal or that they are at an advantage. o Canted angles are slightly slanted or tilted, used to portray madness or unease. They create disorientation for the audience to make them feel connected to the characters. o Wide shots in mysteries are used to create a feeling of space, to show loneliness or isolation. o Panning shots can be used to make the audience participate in a search or emphasize a large or small amount of people in a certain setting. • Mis-En-Scene o To create a feeling of searching in a mystery film, costumes are made to look worn out, and most likely worn all throughout the whol...

possible pitches

Pitch 1: An unsolved murder and family quarrels lead two investigators down a string of missing persons. Pitch 2: Three teens on spring break document their exploration of a deserted building.
