Genre Conventions Research Blog Mystery

 One genre we thought of was a mystery

Common camera angles used in a mystery video would be close ups to show the facial expression of the actors, extreme close ups to emphasize the thing shown like a prop, over the shoulder shot to give a dark feeling and POV shot may be used to give another perspective of what the actor is seeing. 

Common Mis en scene found in a mystery blog are costumes that fit into a mystery are dark colored clothes. The lighting is usually dark to create a mysterious sense and the acting is a fear or scared feeling. Makeup, props and the setting depends on the video.

Common editing used in this genre are jump-cuts,  reverse shots, and fade outs. Common sound used is dialogue, diegetic and non diegetic sound. An example of a mystery film I like is The Black Swan. Some elements of the mystery genre that don’t appeal is an event not being explained to create suspense and questions.

The guy in this picture looks very mysterious.
