Yes Scooby-Doo (2002) is a horror movie! I'm shocked too! The other two are more horror than comedy so I wanted one of my research blogs to be a comedy focused horror. Scooby-doo uses lots of tracking shots, POV shots, has most of the shots at low angles, and whenever people are exchanging dialogue there is an over the shoulder shot used. You can hear ambient sound in any scene someone's in, and there is ALWAYS non-diegetic sound in the background, music, laughing, clicking of a sound, anything. Scooby doo uses a lot of the expectations set with the cartoon movies, Velma's' glasses, Daphne being a damsel in distress and uses them all to deceive us. The costumes are very 2000s, or set in the period, but however everyone apart from the main 4 is very dull or pastel. Whereas the main 4, Velma, Daphne, Fred and Shaggy are a lot more vibrant, a way to tell them apart from everyone else. Most of the movie takes place on "Spooky Island" with the ending happening a...
Thriller defined by the internet: "fiction with numerous, often overlapping, subgenres, including crime, horror, and detective fiction." Common camera: angles, movements, and shots: Extreme close ups and close ups are the bread and butter of this genre, pans, establishing shots and long shots are also used very frequently. This is to show tension or suspense. Take advantage of high shots and POV shots to make it since as though someone's stalking the main character is also commonplace to enhance the viewer. Dutch angles are used to make the viewer uneasy OFTEN. Low level framing is used to show who's in power and who's powerless. Common mise-en-scenes: There's a darker and grittier atmosphere. It's also often in more urban and rural settings, or a mansion, for all the rooms to play with. It takes advantage of dramatic lighting, like hiding someone in shadow and casting the other in complete light. Props often include guns or knives for a wow factor. Ma...
Haunted Mansion (2023) movie is probably the perfect in-between I could find of horror and comedy; it was funny but got creepy at certain points. The movie starts with narration and many establishing shots of the setting of the movie, New Orleans. Most of the dialogue are shot in over the shoulder shots or shot reverse shots. The movies partial to long shots, medium close ups, two shots and three shots. Also, there are tracking shots at some points to enhance the humor. Whenever we see out main character, Ben, we often see him at a slight low angle, to show his depression after losing his wife, getting lower than it gets worse. There are slight inserts of flashbacks, of Ben's past. Travis and Gabbie are both wearing clothing you'd expect is more 50's, while Ben's is more modern, Harriet wears things that can only be described as physic and "old-timey" whereas Father Kent wears a butchered priest-father outfit, and finally Bruce is a scientist and as such dres...
