Today I delve into various examples of movies to see the key elements of a crime film. Looking for repeating elements primarily as those are the exponents that make up classic mystery films.
After researching "The Guilty" and "Hypnotic" I've noted key components to the film.
Starting with "The Guilty" what I found interesting is the fact that the duration of the film takes place in one location, the emergency dispatch center. This tightens up the atmosphere causing heavy tension as it's all built up in one place., causing an almost claustrophobic feeling.
"Hypnotic" is a film centered around psychological suspense.
Although these films approach storytelling from different angles. As "The Guilty" focuses on one event and location, and "Hypnotic" diverges in psychological themes and perception. Both films rely evoke suspense and tension to heavily engage the audience. I've also noticed the pattern that in most crime movies the main protagonist goes through major character development.
