In order to get this project going, I am going to need many
resources. These resources include a
number of novels by various authors, and some films by famous directors of the
thriller and mystery genres. This
includes people such as Agatha Christie, Alfred Hitchcock, and Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, who I have already begun researching.
Although Alfred Hitchcock did not mainly focus on the genre of mystery,
he is important to study do to his incredible use and knowledge of suspense,
and his use of mystery as a sub plot in some of his movies in order to carry
the plot along. Therefore, watching some
of his movies can help me better understand the use of suspense and even some
mystery. Agathie Christie, known as the
queen of crime, is one of the most important people to research and learn
from. She is a master of the mystery
genre, as she is extremely creative in her plots, causing much deception and
suspense throughout her novels. One
novel I am interested in is And Ten There Were None, being her most
famous work, and the best-selling mystery novel ever. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of the
famed Sherlock Holmes novels, was another important mystery writer. He showed the importance of having knowledge
of crime and keenness for solving them, and also the importance of being
intuitive and analytic. He personally
investigated two closed cases, which successfully led to the exoneration the accused
men. One thing I noticed that was common
among all three of these people was that much of their work was influenced by
or referenced their interests and things that happened in their own lives.
