Movie Convention Research: Reptile

 

This is a new Netflix movie about a detective investigating a murder that links back to a bunch of corruption with in the police force and the fbi. While this definitely wasn’t my favorite movie I liked the plot of it and I could definitely take a few notes on the way they developed the characters throughout the movie. While i know i won’t be making a full movie it still helps me to see how I would go about making the a full movie. I think this way of thinking will help bring a lot more depth to our final project instead of just piecing something together without thinking about the full picture. Over all I didnt really like this movie and I think there is a lot from it I’d like to leave out of my project. However they did a good job on some aspects like keeping the viewer guessing what will happen next.

Most scenes are shot with a s...
