Genre Research: Limitless

CAMS: Mostly eye level angles were present. They were used to focus on the main character or important items. High angles and low angles were also present. Establishing shots were used throughout. Medium shots, medium close-ups, and close-ups were heavily used to focus on the main character, specifically during dialogue scenes. Close-ups were also mainly used during emotional, intensifying scenes. Pan.s and tracking shots were present a lot seeing that they were used to follow the main character.

Mis En Scene: When it came to lighting it played a major factor. The story revolved around a man who's struggling and once he takes a pill he gets more focused. Before the pill is taken, the lighting was more dull, as if a blue filter was placed. After the pill is taken, the lighting is brighter after, it makes the story seem happier, as if a yellow filer was placed. When it comes to costumes and makeup it also depends on the pill. Before the pill, the main character seems less properly groomed and his hair is intended to look messy. After the pill, he looks more well-manner and his hair looks proper. When it comes to props, everyday items are used but the pills are the main prop. Th settings are his residence, the city, and an office.

Editing: Jump cuts were heavily used to show the passage of time. Cross cutting and shot-reverse-shots were also used, especially during dialogue scenes. The editing made the scenes flow together and carried the whole movie. The editing was crucial in most scenes since it directed the effects of the pill.

Sound: Dialogue was one of the main sounds. The main character was constantly having conversations that carried the plot. Background, digetic sounds were used such as background chatter whenever they were talking in populated areas. The soundtrack was used during certain scenes and sound bridges are present during what you may call montage scenes, which goes in hand with the editing. Voice over is the most important sound, it is essential to the plot seeing that the narrator is explain everything that happened before the beginning scene.

Elements: The movie was a Thriller. It was suspenseful and made the watcher intrigued in the plot. The movie follows a man who's writing career is dragging, but his life turns around after taking a drug that provides astonishing mental focus. Various happy and dramatic tones are presented.

Elements I liked and didn't like: I liked the plot of the movie and the artistic choice of different filters depending if the main character was on or off the pill. I disliked that it seemed a little slow at times.
