Genre Research: Comedy


 Comedy is a movie genre that is intended to make audiences laugh and amuse them. Comedy films are designed to be funny and entertaining. These films can take many forms, including stand-up comedy, sketch comedy, sitcoms, and comedic films. The comedy genre is defined by events that are intended to make someone laugh. It doesn't matter if the story is macabre, droll, or zany. They use camera angels like, wide shots, medium shots, then they use things like The push, this is used to really display a characters comedic reaction. They will usually wear goofy outfits like clown suits, props that are wiggly and sound funny like an airhorn. They will edit peoples faces or bodily features to look wonky and out of proportion. They will often add in Non-Diegetic sounds like laugh tracks to make the film seem funnier. I like the humor and that I usually don't have to take it serious. Sometimes when humor is used incorrectly it can make the film corny and not likeable.

 Hello, my people, welcome back to another blog. I've decided to make another minor change about what I'm going to use for my commercial. But before that, I would like to mention I made up my mind about using Capcut. I will be using it to edit anything I make, and I now have some experience from being taught by my friends. The minor change I decided to make is the song choice. In my research and planning blog, I said I would use La Campanella as my song choice. I mainly chose that because it is one of the most technically challenging piano songs ever written, hence why it's my favorite. But I'm changing the song choice to Fantasie Impromptu. A little bit about Fantasie Impromptu, composed by Frédéric Chopin, is a masterpiece of classical music for numerous reasons. Its expressive melody immediately captures the listener's attention, drawing them into a world of profound musical beauty. Chopin's technical prowess shines throughout the piece, showcasing his virtuo...

Production Blog: Cap Cut Editing Features

       Tonight, I'm writing about my first editing blog for our final film project. As someone who has been using Cap Cut since the start of my school year for my classes, I can confidently say it's the best editing software to use. Especially when filming a horror story such as my group is. I had my doubts when I first opened, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how easy it was to navigate and the tips it tells you to help you navigate. I believe editing for horror is a life saver because it changes ordinary footage into spine-chilling scenes with a few clicks. It's easy to effortlessly create an ominous atmosphere using the app's lighting adjustment and eerie sound effects. There are plenty of transitions available along with haunting music that can keep any audience captivated throughout the video, ensuring maximum impact. My groupmate also mentioned that I could use Cap Cut's color grading options to enhance the eerie ambiance of the sc...

Production Blog: Roles

       There are four roles within the group since there are four of us. I am going to be the main character. He is someone who is cautious and afraid of anything that resembles horror. My role is to act afraid the whole time meanwhile providing a tone of anger at my friends for bringing me to the woods. My scenes involve looking for for sticks, sleeping in a tent, and running from a killer. The next person is Jayden. He is malicious person just like the other two friends, but his character has more of a presence than the other two. His role is to pretend to act sympathetic while secretly plotting against the main character. His scenes involve helping the main character pick up sticks and being hung.  Then there's Myles. He is a snobbish character who basically wants to torment the main character. He does this by coming up with plans to scare the main character along with Jayden and Mario (will be discussed next). Although he creates an impact to the film, his c...
