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

entity's. This combination provides the mood of tension

yet mystery perfectly to the viewer as they may relate to

the film making the tension feel closer to home while also

being scared of the unknown monster that troubles the

protagonists.

There wasn't much wrong with this movie as it was

mostly a unique concept that displayed everything a

mystery movie needs. The movie managed to scare the

viewers and also introduce new topics and ideas that the

viewer might not be certain of this. Because of the theme

of mental illness and extreme gruesome scenes it would

make sense why people wouldn't like the movie but it was

well done with an ending that confused several people including me.

  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...
