Genre Research: Action and Comedy

Action:


Common CLAMPS: Often times in action movies you will see characters wearing superhero suits or casual clothing. You might also observe the lighting is key lighting, natural light, and accent light. They often have a setting that is destroyed or distressed due to fighting and props such as fighting weapons.

Common Editing: They often use cut to cut editing and zoom in on a characters face for dramatization. They also use establishing shots to set the setting of the film. 

Example Films: Examples of action films include: "The Hunt", "Wonder Woman", "Doorman" and many other motion pictures.

Common Sound: Dialogue is used which is an example of diegetic sound, they also use ambient noises which an example would be background noises. Soundtracks are also used throughout action films as well as non diegetic sound for extra sound effects.

Elements of the Genre that we like: Elements of the genre that appeal to me are fond of may include the exciting music in the films and the use of weapons as props for fighting scenes.

Elements of the Genre that we do not like: The less appealing elements in these films in my opinion are the chases because of the suspense build up.


Comedy:


Common CLAMPS: Often times in comedy movies you will see characters wearing funny character costumes or casual clothing. You might also observe the lighting is high-key lighting, natural light, and accent light. They often have a setting that is a public area such as a store or mall or even a private setting such as a house or car, they may also be set in a school or even a bar.

Common Editing: They often zoom into a characters face very closely, pan shots of a person going up and down, split screen editing. They also use quick zooms and jump cuts.

Example Films: Examples of comedy films include: Jumanji, Scary Movie, Ted, and Bachelor Party. Other Examples include: Easy Money, Ride Along, and 22 Jump Street.

Common Sound: Laugh tracks are used, dialogue which is diegetic sound and soundtracks are used in comedy motion pictures.

Elements of the Genre that we like: The main element of comedy is the nature of it being funny which I find is the most appealing element.

Elements of the Genre that we do not like: The least appealing element in my opinion would be the over usage of laugh tracks to force a joke.
