Genre Research: Comedy

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. Today, I'll continue covering and researching genres with today's genre being comedy. There are usually very common angles that go across all realms of comedy film. One is the close up, which a lot of directors use to comedic effect. Another is the establishing shot, which is often used to r begin segments. The establishing shots used are also to bring the actors to a new scene with a comedic interaction. Another common one is the POV shot, which is often used during or after the comedic event. Next, the lights. It depends, but often times are scenes usually light and vibrant to emphasize the comedy, unless otherwise obvious. Acting is vey vibrant, and over the top because a lot of the comedic effect is combined with the actors and the camera to really bring it all to life. Movement is where comedy movies can really shine. For example, if a pole hits a camera and makes it shake to imitate the movement. Props are also really important. Whether it be a gun, a random object, or something goofy, they vary greatly depending on the intention in comedy films. Sounds tend to be really goofy as well, being loud, comical, and really trying to get that laugh from the viewer.For editing, it remains relatively short, with maybe a pan here or a crop there. Films like this include Deadpool, Hail, Caesar!, and Spy. I really like the goofy camera moving, and the really funny, almost comical, camera shots and movement that combine to bring the movie together. I also like the comedic dialogue between the actors What I don't like, though, is the sound and oftentimes the props, I  don't really want to focus on those if I were to do a comedy. The props I feel like sometimes tend to take away from the actual comedic purpose. That's a wrap on comedy , see you next time where you will learn about a new genre!
