Film Research - Frailty

The film Frailty is a mystery/drama. The films intro showed newspapers, dead bodies and some of the setting. It gives me the impression of an impact on the community; which is curiosity. The community wants to know who is murdering people, as well as why someone could do something so cynical. The shots make up the mis-en-scene and are close up and edited to make it look like the time period and to also appear mysterious because the director didn't show a larger shot. The films budget was 11 million and had a box office revenue of 17.4 million. The film also won an award for best screenplay.
