Genre research: Comedy

  • Common camera angles in your genre (CAMS)
    • Cameras in comedy films usually push the camera way too far in to make the scene funnier than it is. Using a close-up for humor effect. 
    •  A common camera angle is to show the perspective of different items by either making them look too big or by making them look too small 
    • Something that is also highly favored is the quick zoom to bring some comedic value into a scene. 
  •  Common Mis-en-Scene in your genre (CLAMPS)
    • Costumes in some of the films are usually goofy or really funny to look at to make fun of the character. 
    • The lighting in a comedic film is usually very bright and uplifting type mood. 
    • The acting is sometimes made up on spot to make some scenes even funnier by using a yes - and word phrase. This is improv. 
  •  Common Editing in your genre
    • Common editing is switching between cameras to maximize how much the viewers find it funny. 
    • Something also used is long pauses in between or even before jokes to make them seem spontaneous.
  •  Common sound in your genre
    • A really common sound used is a laugh track to know when people can laugh or when the joke was made and sometimes its even used as sarcasm 
    • Many different sounds can be used to make a scene funnier so its just a a matter of what joke was used 
  •  Example films of your genres
    • Jumanji: Next level
    • Ghostbusters: Afterlife
    • Tallgirl
  •  What elements of the genre that you like, and would you use?
    • The elements I really enjoy is all of the editing and camera angles that comedic movies has it makes everything about the movie funnier and overall has an uplifting mood 
  •  What elements of the genre do not appeal to you, and would you stay away from?
    • The elements that don't appeal to me would have to be yes and speech of phrase it isn;t all that funny to me and I wouldn't use it ever.
