Genre Research: Doctor Sleep

C.A.M.S: Camera Angles, Movements, and Shots-
A common shot used in Doctor Sleep is establishing shots. Possibly, this shot was mostly used due to the fact that Doctor Sleep is a spin-off of the movie The Shining. Being the case, the director may want the viewers to recall locations from The Shining by using establishing shots. Wide Shot, High Angles, Tracking Shots, Medium Long Shot, Extreme Close Up, Twp Shot, Three Shot and Close Up.

C.L.A.M.P.S-
Costumes: Jack's signature maroon cord jacket, Grady twin gowns, Rose’s top hat, and baseball outfit. For the majority, the actors were wearing casual clothing.
Lighting: Dim and Dark Lighting to set an ominous, creepy tone.
Actors: The actors all have superpowers and are all supernatural beings.
Makeup: light makeup, blood, and scars
Props: Rose’s hat, baseball glove, and RV
Setting: Rehab Room, Apartment, Overlook Hotel

Editing- Cross-cutting from scene to scene to highlight the character’s powers was a helpful editing technique in Doctor Sleep. Cutaways and inserts were common in the movie to dramatize scenes. Fade out and fade-ins were also common.

Common Sound- Diegetic sounds, Non-Diegetic sound, Ambient Music, Incidental Music, and Scores.

Elements We Liked & Disliked- Elements that we liked were the jump scares and the scenes where the characters would fly around the globe. We also liked the shootout scene in the forest because we believed that it was a great way to incorporate action into a horror film. However, the elements which we disliked was how graphic the murder scenes were.
