Our genre choice!

 Genre Choice For Film

   After a lot of discussion, our group decided to choose the... drama genre! There are many reasons why we decided to pick drama for our short film's genre. Out of the other three potential genres, drama was more convenient. It also went well with our vision for our film. It would be much easier for us to film our short film with dramatics in mind.

   The thriller genre would have been a great choice. However, we simply do not have the funds for it. Additionally,  it would have been harder to enact a true quality thriller. Due to our lack of resources, choosing the thriller genre would have been impractical. Maybe one day we will make a thriller! 

    The fantasy genre would have also been a good choice. Unfortunately, it does not complement our short film's story. It is important that we find a genre that compliments our film's story because we do not want to confuse the audience. Confusing the audience would do us a disservice since our film's story is not really fiction. It would also make it so much harder to film.


    Despite choosing the best genre for our short film, we did have to tweak our film's story. After discussing the story, we decided to change the setting of the story. However, it may be subject to change in the near future. Overall, the drama genre fits our short film better than the other two genres. Therefore, a drama genre would be best for our short film.

Genre research : (comedy)

       The first genre that our group chose is comedy. Here are the common camera angles, mis-en-scene, sounds, editing. As well as some example films. Common Angles: There are many different angles that are widely used in the comedy genre. To start, commonly extreme close ups as well as close up shots are used. These shots are usually shown to help the audience understand or grasp on the humor portrayed by facial expressions, and reactions from the subjects on the film. Furthermore, other angles are widely seen in comedy, like wide shots. Wide shots are used mainly to fit a large gathering into one shot, and by doing this it opens the door to group comedy, and other characters to fit into the scene or story play. Finally, the last common camera angle that we see a lot in this genre is eyeline shots. An eyeline shot in comedy is the subjects way to often tell the audience directly, the joke or line being said. These are some common angles that are used in comedy!! Co...
