Genre Research: Comedy

  •  The common camera angles used in the comedy genre are wide angle, zoom, medium shot, long shot, tracking shot, close-up, medium close-up, and two/three shots.
  • Common costumes, lighting, makeup, props, and sets used in the comedy genre are high-key lightening helps create a cheerful mood, casual clothing, simple make-up or extreme (depending on the comedy), acting is dramatic uses humor, has set in a different location and uses props it varies what they are between the storyline.
  • Common editing in the comedy genre is the fade-in transition, fade-out transition, insert, shot/reverse shot, action match, and eye-line match.
  • Examples of comedy films are Elf, Christmas with the Kranks, The Out-Laws, and Puppy Love.
  • Elements of the genre I like is the acting. The acting is fun to watch because it makes me laugh and is entertaining to watch.
  • Elements of the genre that did not appeal to me was the editing. Comedies have a lot of different angles used which can be overwhelming and a little too much for the viewers.

I was able to find some on YouTube that were copyright-free by searching for them. I needed to find an upbeat and cheerful song to use for the beginning of the opening sequence when the main character is listening to music.

She also suggested to increase the volume of the main character talking because she couldn't understand what she said in the opening sequence. I went into CapCut to fix these by increasing the volume on the parts where the main character is speaking. To do this I clicked on the audio of the scene where she was talking and there was an option to increase the volume so, I just adjusted the volume to higher to make su...
