Film Genre- Comedy

The third film genre that i choose to research was comedy.

Comedies often will have alight-hearted plots and has elements of the different styles of humour that will engage the audience and make them laugh. The are many different forms of comedy such as slapstick, spoofs ,parodies and romantic comedies.The clothes that a actor might wear in a comedy film would normally be either normal everyday clothes or they would wear clothes that they know that might make the audience laugh and keep them interested. The type of people that normally might watch comedy films will depend on the type of theme that the comedy is and also the age of the audience that will be watching the movie, comedy films are not restricted like most horror films are because most children are able to watch most of the comedy films that are out there at the moment but films like step brothers younger children are recommend to watch because of the types of humour that is used might offend a children but also put them off other comedy films. These type of films have a range of different scene to make the audience feel a range of different emotions for example there might be a scene that might make the audience wet themselves with laughter and also they might have very sad scenes. 



Establishing shots  

A establishing shot is there to set up or establishes the context of the scene to the audience by showing them the relationship between the important characters that are in that scene and also the important objects. the generally would use a long shot or even a extreme long shot at the very beginning of a scene showing the audience where the scene is being held and also it can also sometimes show when the rest of the scene is going to take place. Establishing shots were mostly used in the classical era of the filmmaking and now days they are used alot less. Most of today's filmmakers tend to now skip the shots to move the scene along quicker to get the audience more into the film.

Close ups

These types of shots are used for us as the audience to one understand who is the main character is and also to see the expression in the person face and also the other character that they are talking too. Close up shots are also used to frame a object that the character is holding or if the object is important for us as the audience to know about. There are many types of Close up for example medium close up, lean out and lean. 




Music

The type of music that is normally used in a comedy movie is a cheerful and happy type of music that the audience will know or they have heard of this, the reason they do this is because it keeps the audience interested in the film and it also interests them to sing along to the song but mostly not aloud but most of the time it will be in their head
