Genre Research: Movie review (The Thining)

       Yesterday I watched The Thining. This Movie did have C.L.A.M.P.S, CAMS, and the common editing, sound, and elements.
C- Some costumes used in this movie looked just like any regular outfit people would wear on a day-today basis. Except for the people who looked like they were on the SWAT team or working with the police.
L- some lighting used in this movie was low-key lighting. Low-key lighting is when the lighting is very low on a scale of illumination. Also, dimmed lighting was also a big one in this movie. Alongside of dimmed lighting, there was flashing strobe-like lights, and spotlight moments.
A- The actors in this movie looked like regular people you would see on the street honestly.
M- Some makeup used in this movie was probably some makeup to fix up any "imperfections" on the actors face and fake blood as well.
P- The props in this movie are similar to the props in most action movies. Like, guns, knives, flashlights, etc.
S- Lastly, the settings in this movie were inside of a building, in an office and a house.

For CAMS, there was a lot of camera ANGLES such as two-shot, three-shot, a lot of closeups, and tracking shots. The camera MOVEMENTS in this movie were tilts for when the main character fell, zooms, and flash pans. Last but not least, the SHOTS in this movie were POV and over the shoulder.
Some of the common editing that was used in this movie was, cross-cutting, cutaway, and shot reverse shot. Common sounds that were used in this movie were sound bridges, score and incidental music. Lastly, some common editing that was in this movie was cross cutting, eye-line match, and reaction shots. Some things I liked about this movie was how intriguing it was and how it kept me on my toes the whole time. I was never really bored. But some things I did not like is how sometimes I could not understand what was going on, but it wasn't really anything serious.
