Genre Research: Split

I really enjoyed watching split, there are many example of clamps in this film. Costumes played a big part in the film as the antagonist has multiple personalities as a result of this his wardrobe need to change accordingly. The lightning played a key role in providing the emotions and tone of the film (suspense anxiety and anticipation). As for actors our most well know actor in the film is James McAvoy. And our main character is played by Anya Taylor-joy, both actors brought emotion performances to their role. Makeup is an important thematic being in this film as the main character all tho being a teenage girl she does not wear much makeup unlike her costars who are typical teenage girls in this movie. The most important prop in this film was a shotgun as our main character uses it to defend herself. The movie is set in an ill lit basement in Philadelphia.

The editing keeps the audience on their feet by having quick cuts and flash backs through out the film to provide backstory. The element that this movie uses are suspense and tension. This movie has a high level of anxiety and terror. The movie uses uncertainty as a large contributing factor to the mood that is placed upon the audience. which is one of my favorite parts of the film. While the movie uses elements of terror, it lacks any real scares; which is my main criticism.
