Genre Conventions Research - Mystery

 One genre I 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.
