Genre Research Blog


 There are many types of movie genres. From action to romance, for this blog I will be talking about mystery. Personally, the genre of mystery is the most interesting. With a movie based on mystery comes a whole plot based around a singular question and answer. Usually, every scene in a movie based on mystery can be a major role in the plot. 

An example of a movie based on mystery is The Knowing, starring Nicholas Cage. I find this movie in particular interesting because every detail lead to the conclusion. The movie is based around this series of numbers put into a time capsule where it was later dug up. The student who dug it up had a father who was a professor, the father soon realized the numbers were dates and coordinates of major world events. I won’t spoil the rest, but the details between the events in the summary I just gave you all lead to the conclusion.

Mystery is one of those genres a movie can bank on to become a box office hit. The suspense that is created when a viewer is trying to figure out the end of a series of events is unlike any other. Another reason mystery is a great genre is due to its ability to make movies into sequels. A good producer can easily make the “conclusion” just another part of an even broader answer. People are drawn to mysteries and the idea of finding out the answers. 

Mysteries are so popular amongst people, that most media dealing with mystery are series. This shows the ability a mystery has on keeping a person hooked. All of the best and most popular series are mysteries. From “Forensic Files” to “You”. Mystery is what keeps people in suspense and attentive.

 We are finally done with our music video! After about a week of gathering videos and editing, we have our video ready for submission. After the time and energy we spent producing, we couldn't wait to be done before deadline. The relief of being complete with this project is something the group takes pride in. We will all celebrate after school over our accomplishment and completeness of our video. Not only is our music video complete, it was done well and correctly. All of the group mates clips were in the video and successfully edited. Our video consisted of all the shots and scenes we planned it would. Now that we are done, I must complete this last blog. Completing this blog will allow me to post my music video, I will be done. As for my group mattes, they are all done. They are completing other assignments including their CCR and their group names assignment. My plan is for me to finish this, ask the teacher to reopen my group names, and finish the CCR. If I can get all of the...

 I am working with a group of friends, Lance and Kevin. I am working with Lance because he is a friend of mine from culinary. Since having culinary with him last year, we became really close, at some points we have even hung out after school. Lance and I have bonded over many things, but one of the main bonds we hold is over working out . He has been working out for around 2 years consistently, and 6 months working out with weights. For our music video we are thinking about incorporating our love for working out. Us bonding over working out makes Kevin the perfect third person for our group. Kevin works out quite a lot, he has been working out for about a year and a half. Having the 3 of us being avid weight lifters will massively benefit our video. What will really make the video really interesting is incorporating our different ways of working out. Many people that don't often lift weights don't know the different ways to weight lifting, this can come in the form of higher vo...

 I am Julian, I like to keep myself busy and do things that I find fun and entertaining. I like going out after school, whether that's to hangout with my friends or family. When being out and about I like to eat, so this usually includes me going to a restaurant or a shop. If my day doesn't consist of this, I like to go outside instead, sometimes playing basketball. I also like to wash cars, so if I ever am bored, I will offer my parents to wash their car. Over the summer I went to the beach a lot, which is one of my favorite activities. I also like surfing and snorkeling. Over the summer I also drove a lot, which is something I like doing. Driving has been something I've always wanted to do, so being able to drive and have a license is really exciting to me. One of my favorite things to do in general is making people laugh. For some reason I feel really close with someone when I can make them laugh easily. Being that making people laugh is something I enjoy, by extension s...
