Genre Decision Blog - Mystery Genre

 The movie genre my group mates and I decided on using for our final task was the mystery genre. The pitch idea we decided on best fits the mystery genre, as well as the specific camera shots and angles. 

A thriller was not going to be the final decision, since most of the final task will be the mission/mystery of figuring out who the killer is, instead of the thrill leading up to the kill. A thriller also has lots of jump cuts for edits, and although it has similar CLAMPS as a mystery genre, the majority of the plot is a mystery. 

Romance was out of the question for my group mates and I, since there is no romance within our final task. 

So, we came to the conclusion of the mystery genre. A mysterious atmosphere can be achieved through dimmer lighting, silhouettes, tracking shots, and spooky ambient sounds. 

Overall, the mystery genre will work best for our decided pitch idea. The correct use of CLAMPS, CAMS, editing and sound for the mystery genre will enhance our final task, to be the best product my group mates and I will produce yet.
