Genre Research: A Quiet Place

Common Camera Angles: 
-Tracking: When the family is walking around the store
-Low angle: When the deaf girl is standing over the counter looking at her mom
-High angle: When the deaf girl is laying in the sand
-Long shot: Right before the boy gets taken by the monster
-Close up: When the mom is giving birth

Common Mis-En-Scene:
-Costume: They all wear normal clothes, except they are barefoot. They do not wear shoes so they do not make noise.
-Lighting: Natural light from the outside. Low key lighting because it got dark in the house.
-Actors: A family of five. Three children and a mom and a dad.
-Makeup: The makeup is natural and light. Their hair is a little messy.
-Props: Backpacks, a gun, a toy airplane
-Setting: The setting in this movie is mostly a house that looks normal on the outside, but is weird on the inside. Everything in the house is close together to show that the family wants to keep close. It also takes place in the woods.

Common Sound:
-Diegetic: The breathing, walking, wind,  keys, and running at the beginning
-Non-Diegetic: The toy airplane, the static from the radio,  the monsters, and the animals
-Incidental: When something big is going to happen or to show things over time.
-Score: When they put on the headphones when they are dancing

Common Editing:
- Shot reverse shot: When the mother and son are having a conversation
-Jumpcut: Throughout the movie
-Fade out: At the end of the movie

Common Elements:
Common elements include running and this creates suspense. Fights between the villain and the "good guys" are also common. In this case, it would be between the monsters and the family.

Elements I liked about this genre:
What I liked about this is suspense, since there was not that much sound it made the suspense bigger. I was able to feel everything I usually would if there was sound.

Elements I did not like about this genre:
What I did not like is the close up of the monster towords the end of the movie.
