Genre Research :Drama and Thriller

 

Drama: Common Lighting is lowkey, side, hard, and cinematic. Common angles are ;medium, over the shoulder, close up, and extreme close up. Common movements are horizontal movement, vertical movement, and hand- held movement.

Costume: Fits the time period or setting of the film.

Lighting: It is low key lighting.

Acting:Dramatic, sometimes emotional.

Props: cars, cellphones, houses.

Setting: A setting that can portray a real-life situation. Elements: Interenal conflicts, external and heavy emotions. Example films: Titanic and Moonlight. Common sounds are music, sound effects, and human voices, Elements I like are external conflict and tension. Elements I don't like are the heavy emotions. 


Thriller: Common lighting is low-key lighting. It is often used to display dim shadows. Also creates a dark and scary atmosphere. Furthermore, back lighting. The light is places behind the person or object. Makes the person look surrounded. Another one is under lighting. This lighting shows the under of the character. It forms big shadows. It also keeps the identity of the character. 

Common camera angles are high angles, close ups, tilted, low angle, long shot, hand held, point of view, and over the shoulder. 

Common movement is tracking in thriller. It is used to follow the character and its actions. Doesn't ruin the surprise for the viewers, It also builds suspense. 

Common Mis-En Scene

Props:Weapons are used a lot. they tend to show the violence and risk being put forth. Lighting is low key to create the suspenseful atmosphere. Setting creates an intense atmospshere. Costumes respresent the character. Examples for thrillers are The Fugitive and Gone Girl. Common sounds are high pitched violins and fast paced music. The elements I like are the suspense and tension. The ones I don't like are the leading role or the close role, having to die.

Genre Research: Comedy

  This powerpoint is on comedy. I did research on a certain genre and that turned out to be comedy. Common lighting found in this genre is high-key lighting. Comedies tend to have extreme close ups and normal angles as well .  The lighting in a comedy film would also be potentially brighter as to  reflect the mood and to film . The costume designs in comedy films change. The acting is goofy and funny.  The make-up in comedy is more precise and colorful.  Props in comedy change in accordance to the tone of the film.  It can vary anywhere from not too bright to not too dark.     One of the main elements of comedy is exaggeration. Bad boys is very well known comedy film. I like the sarcasm of comedy.   The way people react to things is so funny to me.  The repetition that it brings sometimes though, is a big throw off.   A common sound found are crickets.   This sound shows the awkward silence in the room.  Also, it can somet...

   As of right now, I have filmed a little, but not completely. I'm back to filming . I'm done giving myself some time off.. Got the equipment together. I revised my plan . I have ensured everything is planned out.  I got it, the movie is ready to take place. The outfits are put together. I want to make sure I have time to relax. My movie has to find a way to fit two minutes though. It's hard making something about a specific topic and making it only two minutes long. Making a two minute long video or movie requires you to sit down and really pick out the best. It really makes you think about what you are acting . This movie specifically is about the comedy. Also, about how "hate comes in the most random times. I been working on how to produce titles for the film. This video will come out great even though its at a little pause. They always say "quality or quantity" and in this case that is factual. The better the video turns out, the less people are worried ...

Genre Research: Bad Boys

  Bad boys main elements are the slapstick violence and farce. T he ' buddy comedy ' genre is fairly well-known.  There have been plenty of them, all of them primarily based on the basic idea of having two main characters.  Who are, well, buddies; they act like friends to each other.  They get in fights, they help each other out. They also compliment each other.  This all starts from a case involving someone  w hose evidence from a $100 million heroin bust is stolen. Who get in trouble with the chief, who yells at them. And with a chick from Internal Affairs, who takes them off the case. While all of this, they still find a way to make jokes. The plot is like a jigsaw puzzle with pieces.    The dialogue runs on endlessly. This emphasizes the point of farce because this is all happening so quickly. There are also a lot of curious interludes in which Lawrence and Smith do verbal riffs.  Interrupting each other, stream of consciousness. Finishin...
