Genre Research - A Quiet Place

The second opening we watched is the wildly successful movie "A Quiet Place". The first 2 minutes of the film introduces the characters and shows us how the family must live in silence or the monster will kill them. There are plenty of different shots, including some wide and drone shots, but there are primarily close ups of the character's face's when they mouth words or signal each other, since they can't speak. There is some nature noises, like wind and bird chirping, but no music plays. There are no job credits in the beginning. The budget was 17 million and it made 50.2 million. It won 4 awards, a screen actors screen award for outstanding performance by a female actor in a supporting role, a Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Sci-Fi/Horror Movie, a Bandung Film Festival for Imported Film, and a Satellite Award for Best Sound.
