Film Project Genre Research- Hush

The film, Hush, is a horror movie. Within the first two minutes of the movie Hush, it shows that there is a deaf woman, living alone in a house in the middle of the forest, and she is making dinner for herself, and her neighbor asks if she could stop by. Some film techniques used in the film, Hush, are when the main character is making herself dinner, you can see in the background that the neighbor is banging on the door trying to get the main characters attention, but is not able to get it, so she is stabbed to death right in front of her sliding glass door. The cinematographer uses a wide shot to show that there are no houses near the main characters house so there is nowhere for her to escape to. The opening credits show who the production is, and who the actors are that are in the film. The budget of the film was $1 million, and worldwide it grossed $44 million. The film was nominated for, Best Art Direction, Best Score, Best Costume Design, Best Editing and Best Cinematography. The film won Best Independent Film, and Best Direct Release Horror.
