Genre Research; Secret Obsession

  In this blog I will be listing the common conventions and elements in the thriller: “secret obsession”. These conventions and elements will include the common camera angles, movements, Mis-en-scene, lighting, editing, and sound throughout the movie. The common camera angles in the movie were close-ups, dolly shots, and 2-shots. The common angle movements in the movie were tracking movements, hand-held movements, tilts, and pans. The common costume seen throughout the movie were police uniform, nurse and doctor uniform, and regular clothes. There was little to no makeup throughout the movie besides fake blood and makeup to create the effect of bruises. Props included handcuffs, cellphones, doctor equipment, stuffed animals, flowers etc. There were a few different locations throughout the movie including the hospital, detective Frank’s house, Jennifer’s parents house, and Ryan’s house.
  The common sounds within the movie included sound bridges to piece different scenes together, non-digestic sounds, digestic sounds, incidental sound, and ambient sounds. Common editing throughout the movie included POV shots, eye-line matches, jump cuts, cut-aways, and cross-cutting. The elements I liked in the movie included the actors, props, sound, and camera movements. The sound and camera-movements added to the mystery of the movie and provided more shock/thrill to the audience. There were no elements of the movie that I disliked.
