Genre Research: Murder Mystery

 Hi blog!

My group and I have decided to continue our project in the mystery genre. The movie Murder Mystery is about a couple who goes on vacation in Europe is being framed for the murder of a millionaire. They have to act as the detectives and find the real killer. This movie contains similar elements that most mystery films have. This movie contained suspenseful music and a lot of fast-paced cutting. The frequent use of crosscutting makes the audience predict what will happen as soon as the cutting stops.  Some of the elements in mystery films are as simple as a crime and a villain. The villain always gets caught at the end, which could have a negative effect on the audience.  Most mystery genre films have the same ending. There is always a hero that solves the mystery. In this movie, the couple discovers that the killer was the character that helped them all along. There are foreshadowing and a set of clues that are eventually pieced together at the end. It is common for there to be a "red herring", which is a false clue, known to add more suspects. eventually, it is revealed one at a time who is innocent. I like the foreshadowing and when there is a clue that is just added to throw the audience off the track of figuring out the killer before they are revealed. An element I did not like from the movie is how they could have caught the killer multiple times, but the director had the characters make mistakes that would never happen in real life. I don't like when movies based on reality don't make normal decisions. We have decided to include the foreshadowing and the character's personalities in our final task. This will help the audience decide for themselves who would be apart of the journey of finding the missing character. This movie is a good example of how a comical mystery could be portrayed and I can still get ideas from it for our group's final task.

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

  We started off first with watching the short film,9. It was only about 10 minutes long and there was no dialogue during it. When I first watched the film, I thought that there would be some dialogue. Doing, or having would increase the quality of this short film greatly. Not only would it make it better, but easier to understand what the plot is. There were many times throughout this short film where I didn't know what was happening. I didn't know what was going on or the plot throughout the whole film. It was hard to follow without any dialogue.I  had to resort to watching the characters' body language in order to understand what was happening. Maybe the little noises the characters made for each emotion would have been better. But that isn't very easy when they're little rag dolls. If it had this dialogue it would be easier to understand, but they would also be able to add lots more. Dialogue is a major contribution in films. Without it, they can almost seem pla...

I am Karli Norkin, I am in grade 11, and l ast year  I took part  in  as  level Media studies.  Thanks to a lot of hard work and devotion  I  passed and am  now in A level Media studies.  I took the year  to learn the vocabulary and key wording I needed to succeed in the class. I also learned the best ways to film and edit over all my projects.  I started with my commercial. This project was the beginning of my leaning towards filming. This opened me up to new angles and lighting to use.  After the commercial I knew how to create a film overall. The best ways to show the emotions of the  characters , or the best w ay to sell an object. After the commercial I made a music video that was longer and more complex than the commercial.  This complexified my knowledge of  filming and  writing plots. I used more of my vocabular y  tha t  I was  taught  before during this project.  I fel...
