Movie convention research: Death on the nile

Hey blog! it’s me again. Last time we discussed genre. Today it's all about movies that have done it. I've watch them and took notes so let's get into this. 

Elements that were present in Death on the Nile that we will be using in our film is tension and  suspense. Camera angles such as high angle, low angles, close up, tracking shot and establishing shot were used to develop the storyline.  Jump cuts and montages were some of the editing used. Dialouge that contained information were major clues that pieced the mystery together.Elements of the movie I enjoyed was the usual setting of dark secluded areas and environments. Characters with hidden motives so you didn't know who the killer was until it was revealed to you.  Suspenseful music played adding to the atmosphere of the film through both diegetic and non-diegetic sound. Clues placed throughout using costumes and props.

The elements in the movie that  did not appeal to me was the red herrings. The clues were being produced were at times confusing. The characters also could have been more flushed out so their deaths and secrets would be more drastic.
