In an interview with a UST student, Annabelle, she said that suspense is all she looks out for in a movie. If she’s able to predict the film, then she’s done watching it. Imagine how awkward a movie would be if there’s nothing to keep your interest.
Using the movie “Chief Daddy”2018 as a case study. It is clearly seen that the Chief and benefactor died unexpected, no one expected that. Then it happens that he has a large family, which was not stated at first. And now everyone is curious to know what is in his will. These few events probably kept someone’s attention till the end of the movie because the family members are hating on each other and we want to know who chief loves the most. Even if we cite an example with the 2018 “News Money”, the young girl who wanted to go into fashion didn’t know her father left her a multimillion dollar empire, to run. At the end, who will run the company since she wasn’t interested and her uncle and his son were on her neck. The zeal to know who finally sits on the CEO position, would keep you waiting for the second edition of the film.

There is this curiosity to keep watching and anticipating. It is true that every good film in these recent time, has suspense no matter how little. These discoveries has made film makers fasten their seat belts to better screen writing and production.
