The costumes in this movie were simple. They mostly wore camping clothes, materials that did not make any noise but, they never wore shoes. The lighting was natural outside lighting. At night stage lights and small things like candles and Christmas lights were used. Throughout the movie, the characters could not speak or make any noise, so they had to use sign language. They also had to show their emotions through facial expressions and actions. They wore little to no makeup throughout the film. The actors gave a natural look through the entire movie. The monster they had to stay away used makeup/special effects. The monster is shown down below. The props and settings were a house, farm, and some small stores and just the normal things inside of those settings. A small but impactful prop in the movie were a toy airplane and hearing aids. Both of these props created big scenes during the film.
There was a lot of ambient and diegetic sound. The actors could not speak so the audience heard many of the small sounds and nature sounds that were used. There also was a small amount of ambient sounds when the monster came around.
Some of the common editing used were close up, cutaway, action match, and eyeliner match. These edits were used to enhance the films to create more suspension throughout films.
The Quiet Place is a scary movie. I liked the plot of the movie. I also like the suspense created by the directors. During many times in the film, the audience was waiting for what would happen next and was on the edge of their seat. I did not like how the actors had to use sign language. For those who don't know sign language, the translation was on the screen. So the audience has to read and watch. But, it is important to watch the movie and pay attention to exactly what was going on because the actors couldn't make any noises. So the sign language translations were distracting from the movie.
