Genre Research: 2:22

    Some common camera angles that I found in the movie 2:22 were high angles, low angles, and eye-level angles. Some common camera movements that I found throughout this movie were very slow pans and tilts, along with slow zoom-outs, and tracking shots, which were all found in the opening sequence of the film. Additionally, some common camera shots that I found while watching this movie were wide shots, dutch/oblique shots, long shots, medium close-ups, and medium-long shots. 
    The costumes that I found in this movie included mainly everyday, regular clothing. Along with business-related clothing for the opening scenes, which included many people in suits. The lighting for this movie was very bright as it used natural sunlight for the scenes that were filmed outdoors. However, even for these outdoor shots, the hue of the lighting tended to be more on the cooler side to portray the mystery of the film. The actors in this film were pretty serious throughout the movie except for when the main character, Dylan, would start to hear noises again, in which he would start acting more hysterical as a response to this. The makeup in this movie is not extremely prominent as no characters tended to wear heavy makeup. Additionally, there were no action or fighting scenes so no blood was involved. The props for this movie tended to be briefcases, along with cellphones and guns which were important in the opening scene of the movie. The setting for this movie takes place in many different areas depending on the scene. Some of these settings include a restaurant, outdoors at a park or a train station in New York City. 
    The common editing that I found in this movie were jumpcuts, cross-cutting, cutaways, and eye-line matches. Some common sounds that I heard throughout this movie were diegetic sound, non-diegetic sounds, dialogue, snd sound motifs. Some common elements of this movie that follow similar elements of most mystery movies are the fact that it includes a lot of scenes that involve suspense. 
     The element that I like that most about this movie was its opening scene, This got me very interested in watching the movie through its use of slow camera movements and the non-diegetic sounds that were added. One element that I did not enjoy about this movie was the costumes. I feel as though more costumes could have been added to make the movie more interested as they tended to only be regular everyday clothing.
