Film Project Genre Research- Hush

Hush is a thriller/ horror that was released in 2016. The opening of the film shows the production credits and the movie title. The first shot taken in the opening scene is an establishing shot of above the trees, indicating that the movie was filmed in the woods. This shot was taken off a crane as the camera gracefully glides down from the tree tops to the forest floor and turning to zoom into the house located within the trees. The first two minutes of the film are multiple short takes of the main actress preparing and making food. There are many close ups of her facial expressions when making the food and point of view shots at when she is looking at the meals. These scenes also have cut takes to where she is texting a friend, so she seems to be alone in these scenes. There are also sound effects of the noises coming from the preparation of meals such as the stirring of a spoon on a pot or cracking of an egg. Hush was presented with a nominee for the Chainsaw Award. The films budget in all was one million, resulting in it being a smaller film. The money made is unknown.
