Genre Research: Comedy

Common camera angles we can see The Push (Way Too Far) In, The Pull (Way Too Far) Out, Reveal movement, The Comparison Shot, The Perspective Shot and others. In comedy there aren't specific dress code, just casual normal clothing unless the character needs to dress silly. Lighting is commonly bright or natural light to keep a realistic environment.  Typically characters that are portrayed as "stupid" or “clumsy” to entertain the audience. Little to no makeup is used in comedy. Props are very important in comedy and usually includes props that hurt a character or humiliates them. The settings are usually large social areas that make it clear for the audience to see. In comedy everything is about timing and pace. Editing could be sped up to fit the pace of one scene then slowed down to match the pace for another. It really depends on the situation the characters are in. Diegetic sound such as dialogue needs to be heard in order to be laughed at. Non diegetic sounds can be used to place emphasis in certain scenes. Movies that are in the Comedy genre are "Dumb & Dumber", "Deadpool", "Superbad", "White Chicks" and "Ted". An element we would use from comedy are non diegetic sounds. Non diegetic sounds can help emphasize the importance of a scene or highlight a joke made by a character. We wouldn't want to include comedic characters. These characters wouldn't fit into our pitch and wouldn't help create the fear that the audience is supposed to feel.
