Film Project Genre Research- Open House

We watched The Open House as it is a horror thriller and has many techniques that are used. Open House is a new film released in 2018. There were multiple shots taken such as a fade into the title which is stated in the beginning with creepy high pitched music then gradually went into a sound bridge of someones breathing.You can hear his running steps and the scene is a mid shot of one of the main characters running which is shot at a low angle, then an over the shoulder of a conversation the father is having with his son that is running.Then a master shot of the whole family in the kitchen with dialogue. I can tell within the first minutes of the film that they are a happy family with a son that runs track and is trying to get into a good college, the mom is cooking dinner and the next scenes are tragic as the son and dad go to the store to buy this missing ingredient. There is a two shot from of the dad and the son in the car and music playing originating from the car radio. The scene is still as the dad gets out of the car to go into the store and suddenly gets hit by a car and the screen goes blank. The budget of the film was 100 thousand dollars and my group and I are unaware of how much the movie made in the end. The Open House was a nominee for fright meter award and jury award.
