Genre Research '47 Meters Down' (2017)

Camera angles:

One camera angle they use very often in the film is close ups. In a lot of the scenes the characters are in small spaces and to
show that, they used close ups. They also used POV shots to show things from the character’s point of view and increase
suspense. They also used wide shots a lot, since most of the scenes are underwater and they needed to show all of the open
space and sharks.

Costumes, lighting, actors, makeup, props, setting: 

The characters change between a few different costumes throughout the film. At first they are wearing tropical clothes and
bathing suits that you could wear to the beach. They also wear dresses and party attire in the beginning of the movie.
For the majority of the movie they wore scuba gear and diving suits though. The lighting at the beginning of the movie was
bright and natural. When they go underwater it gets darker and more blue tinted. When something starts to go wrong it is
usually darker or redder in color. Throughout the film they wear no makeup because they are underwater.

Sounds:
There are many sounds throughout this movie, such as the shark banging against the cage, screams muffled by being
underwater, and a sort of bubbling noise.

Editing:
A lot of the film was one like event occurring, but there were many cuts between the shark and the divers.

Elements of thriller in the movie:

There was a lot of gore as well as action and suspense.

What elements of the genre did the movie have that you liked?

What elements of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you? 

I usually don’t like gore and this movie had a bit of it.
