Genre Research: Comedy

 Hello, and welcome to or welcome back to my blog!!

In todays blog I am going to be telling you about what I learned from researching comedy movies.


Common camera angles used in comedies are Dutch angles. Common movements are tracking and common shots are medium long shot.

Common costumes in comedies are baggy clothes and multiple colors. There is high-key lighting. The acting is comedic and makes the audience laugh. Common makeup is natural and light. The props depend on the story but electronics are commonly used. The set can be in a home, parks, work places, and restaurants.

Common editing techniques include inserts, fad-in, fade-out, and split screen.

Common sound included dialogue and diegetic sound.

Some examples of comedy movies are Elf, Good Burger, Good Boys, and Haunted Mansion

Some of the elements I like and would use in my own film are dialogue, costumes, and lighting

Things I don't like are some of the editing techniques.

Todays is about the editing ones. My group member Annabel and I re-edited it in class together so that we could both easily incorporate ideas. The first thing I did was fix the choppiness in the beginning. I did that by trying to overlap the sound from each clip. It is a little hard to explain but I cut the audio from one part. Then I deleted the clip from where it came from. Extended the other clip, and added the audio over that part. I think it fixed the choppiness a little and now the scene looks like it runs smoother. Another thing she mentioned was that it needed some background music at the end where "Ava" gets taken because it felt empty. After watc...

Production Blog: Videos

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog!! In the previous blog I told you about how I added my pictures and what I did to cut down the time. In todays blog I am going to be telling you what I have completed since then. When school ended I went home and started to  work on the commercial. I saved the videos into my favorites folder so that they would be easier to find when I got to this point.  I first started with cheer. I selected the video of me cheering and cut it down to the part where I did my solo. After that I added a couple pictures of me cheering on top so it wouldn’t be as boring. After that I added a blank black screen. That is to help me with transitioning into the next topic. I plan to do a voice over on some of the parts so the screen would help with that too. Next, I repeated the same process, but instead of it being cheer it was my YouTube channel. On the blank screen I added a couple of my YouTube thumbnails. It brought more to the screen and was...
