Genre Research: Happy Death Day two

 An element of this specific mystery film that we would like to base our final task off of is mostly the element of surprising plotlines, something that Happy Death Day 2U has a strong advantage in is the fact that the main character dies over and over again, and every time she wakes up she tries her best to survive and investigate what’s truly causing her to be stuck in this endless time loop of being stuck in the same exact day reliving the same exact moments. Having a storyline that keeps the audience engaged to find out the most unexpected outcomes can really bring a movie together and Happy Death Day truly proves what that means.

Some of the elements I enjoyed from this movie was how each character had been completely rewritten compared to the first movie representing the parallel universe the main character had been put in and how this time it won’t be the same and that we have new mysteries to solve in this current sequel. Another element enjoyed was the cinematography itself and the feeling it puts the audience with for example how a dimly lit room with blinking lights maybe come to be as a warning sign that a killer may be lurking nearby. It makes the audience worry in specific for our characters cause just how the scenes are put together you are able to tell what may come next for our characters.

An element I disliked about this movie was the confusing storytelling and how it even correlates to the first film in general. The fact that this is a completely different dimension and it’s caused by a time machine makes it hard to keep up with what we already know from the first film. As well as the emotional hook to this movie where she either has to stay in a dimension where her mother is alive or a dimension where it’s just like her old one. In the end she goes back to her old one which doesn’t really make sense cause then there wouldn’t have been any point of the film in general.

genre choice for film

  Based on the research we did for the blogs, we feel as though mystery will fit best for our movie. This genre really would climb as the film goes on. By the end of the film is where we find our solution or our ending. This inspired us as a whole as we are trying to create a film that has to do with suspicion. It would really draw the audience attention. I feel like our pitch really fits in with this genre. If in the future we would have to tweak it, it wouldn't be a problem. We weren't thinking to add dialogue at first as our idea, but it might be the thing that we need to add. As stated previously, the mystery genre has a decent popularity in films nowadays. The wide variety of aspects and work that goes into these films really brings it all together. Which further creates something that truly represents mystery. Some camera angles that correlate to mystery are close-ups. They also include medium close-ups. They also use dialogue when it comes to mystery to give the audience...

Genre Research: hereditary

 This movie has elements that our group would like to include in our final task such as the tense ambience created by the mysterious entity that disturbs the family. Having a mood that puts the viewer at the edge of their seat while also trying to solve and figure out what's going on is something Hereditary does well and something our group would like to recreate into our film. Another element that inspired our film was the use of subverting the viewers expectations. This movie may make the viewer believe one thing is going on when in reality something entirely different may be happening. The unpredictable nature of Hereditary is a great base for a mystery film as mystery constantly wants the viewer confused and questioning. Some elements that we enjoyed were the nonstop tension as the family would often be arguing and constantly fighting over something they do not understand. Hereditary manages to show the reality of family struggles but also mysterious element about supernatural ...
