Final Task: Genre Research II


 Welcome back guys, next, I'll be exploring Kyle Newacheck’s film "Murder Mystery" today.

Camera Angles Movements and Shots:

  • Wide Shots
  • Close-Ups
  • Tracking Shots
  • Pans 
  • Eye Level Shots
  • Zoom
  • Medium Close Ups
  • Two Shot
  • High Angles
  • Low Angles

Mis-En-Scene

  • Character Wardrobe
  • Varied Lighting
  • Naturalistic Makeup
  • Mystery-Related Props
  • Cruise 
  • Hotel

Editing

  • Insert 
  • Fade-Out 
  • Action Match

Sound

  • Suspenseful Soundtrack
  • Score

I enjoy the variety of camera angles, movements, and shots that are used to show different ideas, like how they showed everything in the scenario with a wide angle, and their distinct clothing, which emphasized the mystery, like when one of the killers removed her hat. The cruise set, however, I dislike it since it keeps a lot of the mystery contained in that one tiny area, making it seem unnaturally small.

My final music video project is based on conventions that I saw while researching indie music.

However, I challenged these conventions by using them with a song that is popular and is not indie or bedroom pop. The conventions of the genre of “Head over Heels” are often over the top with quirky visuals. I took a small bit of inspiration from these characteristics, but otherwise, I stayed true to the indie genre. It represents my friends and I’s shared cultural heritage and gender. In today's society, it can be hard to find media of young Latina girls expressing their love for art and music. Especially without a focus on their struggles and inner turmoils. There are m...

Music Video: My research

 4EVER - Clairo Cameras: Slow zooms, fast pans, and short shots.  Editing: Fast cutting and grainy texture. Credit screen at beginning to introduce actors. Not full screen, cropped to about 2/3 of the whole available space.  Sound: Mostly diegetic sound throughout. However, in the first 30 seconds there is a mix between silence and the diegetic sound from the music. Mis-En-Scene- Costumes were natural and retro. Lighting was mostly natural light due to filming outdoors but occasionally cut to inside with dim warm lighting. None were wearing makeup. Actors did not put on a character and rather acted as exaggerated versions of themselves. Props included glasses, microphones, and drink cups. Setting was places around a college campus. Attention - NewJeans Cameras: Unfocused and sporadic. Many wide shots. Scenes were very short. Most shots were eye level angles. Editing: Quick and fast jump cuts. There was sparkling effects over the screen at some points. Colors were made mor...
