Genre Research: Spinning Man

    Some common camera angles that I found in the movie, Spinning Man, were eye-level angles and low angles. Some common camera movements that I found in this movie were slow pans and tilts, and tracking shots. Some common camera shots that I found in this movie were two-shots, three-shots, over the shoulder shots, wide shots, and medium close-ups. These shots mainly featured the main protagonist, Evan Birch, who is a detective along with other characters whom he may be interviewing.
    The costumes that I found throughout this movie were mainly business-related. As Evan Birch was a businessman, his attire would mainly consist of suits and professional work clothes. However, those whom he was interviewing were often found wearing regular, everyday clothing. The lighting in this movie was somewhat dim yet still used natural lighting. However in places like Evan's office, the lighting was also dim, however, it had a green undertone which helped to create an eerie mode. The actors in this movie were normally very serious as this movie talked about a serious subject matter, which was a crime that was committed. The makeup that can be found in this movie for women was mainly everyday, minimal makeup. There was no blood featured in this movie as no fighting or action scenes were involved. The props for this movie included a briefcase, along with a folder and a desk that could often be found in many scenes were Evan was at work. The setting for this movie again was in a workplace, more specifically an office. Some other settings in this movie also included a cafe and other people's houses of whom Evan would be interviewing.
   The common editing that I found throughout this movie included many jumpcuts, along with eye-line matches and cutaways. The common sounds that I heard throughout this movie were dialogues and diegetic sounds. This movie did not feature a strong soundtrack or even non-diegetic sounds as well. Some common elements in this movie that I found that relate to the mystery genre were the solving of a crime, along with the costumes that were similar as well. The costumes were normally always business clothes or everyday regular clothes.
    The element that I liked the most about this movie was the fact that Evan was actually able to interrogate and interview many people following the crime. However, one element that I did not enjoy about this movie was its lack of suspense along with the lack of a strong soundtrack. Though it was a movie with a good storyline, it was hard to remain interested while watching it.
