Genre Research: Enola Holmes
Hi blog!
Enola Holmes is a movie based on the sister of Sherlock Holmes who is looking for her missing mother. She meets another character and they become friends and help each other get away from dangerous situations. We decided to use this example because it involves a mostly nonviolent form of a mystery film. The mother leaves clues for Enola that only she would understand. This led to her leaving home and traveling on a train towards her mother. She not only ends up finding her mother, but she also beats her brother. She becomes a witness in another crime and finds the criminal before her brother. This element of an extra storyline surprised us and the audience's predictions. The elements in common mystery genres are similar to this film because they both included films, antagonists, and music/sound effects that add a suspenseful and comical tone. I like how this film is filmed because it has scenes that are very unique and have important messages. In Enola Holmes, the mother leaves home to be a part of a women’s rights movement that could be dangerous if she brought her daughter. The clues that were clearly added by the mother are beneficial to the film. Even though our group’s project won't include clues given by the missing people, there will be clues that were accidentally not covered up. Some elements that I did not like from this film is how the narration was added. Our group saw it as distracting and used in scenes that had a lot of details already. It felt over-loaded by sound effects, dialogue, and fast-paced actions. Overall, this film was inspiring for our final task. It contained new ideas that we would have never thought to add in the opening sequence of our movie. Enola Holmes has a clear storyline that brings in unforeseeable occurrences.
