Genre time

         Today in class my group and I discussed the many different choices for genres. Genres such as comedy, action, drama, and horror. We discussed many different movies in these categories such as the Fast and Furious movies and the Scary Movie movies. It was hard to decide on which genre we wanted to produce a movie in...

           We decided to go in the direction of the comedy genre. My partners and I are big believers in the fact that laughing can make someone’s day better. The comedy genre aims to make people laugh and creates a fun atmosphere. “Comedies are light-hearted dramas, crafted to amuse, entertain, and provoke enjoyment. The comedy genre humorously exaggerates the situation, the language, action, and characters. Comedies observe the deficiencies, foibles, and frustrations of life, providing merriment and a momentary escape from day-to-day life. They usually have happy endings, although the humor may have a serious or pessimistic side.”

            It was a successful, productive second day. We now have our genre: comedy. We also have some research to help us in creating our film openings. Now onto our film ideas...
