Comedy.
this is one of the options that we might do, but it will be tricky to do i think because theres a lot to include and you've got to make it funny at the same time. The titles of this genre are mostly on their own and just say 'THE NAME' not 'introducing ....'. the colour of the the title would be brightly coloured and not dull. Most of the sound in a introduction to a comedy is non-digetic. The mis-en-scene of a comedy is always if anything 'happy' and always bright, because its meant to be funny, they want you to feel happy. The setting in a comedy such as 'Due Date' is him going into the city, many comedy's start with a setting in a big city this is because its to show you could have the idealistic place and life. These are made to induce humour to their audience. comedy's use things like conflict to induce humour, using sexual humour, they use blue humour and slapstick humour, slapstick is when the character hurts them self or does something physically funny. blue humour is doing something rude/sexual or saying something rude/sexual. a camera angles that are used are birds eye view so you can see the whole city and the setting their in. some camera shots they use are all about timing, they alsways have to have a character in the shot, they use two-person shots and a birds eye view establishing shot, also a mid shot. the transitions they use are quite quick to get to the other scene.
Horror.
A horror is made to give the audience a negative feel, to make the audience feel scared, but want to know more. they try to startle the audience. Horror's are very similar to thrillers and may sometimes have the same aspects of a thriller. they try to make it as realistic as possible, this would scare the viewers more as they think that it could happen to them if its happened in the film they've just watched. the transitions of a horror are very quick and active, they skip to different scenes to either make you jump or to show you another part of the setting. the camera angles they use are sometimes a worms to show the audience the powerful one and the one who is mainly the one that is going to be the 'evil' one. they also use tilt to make you feel un-easy and to put you in suspense of whats going to happen in the film, it puts you on edge such as the possesion. the camera shots they use extreme close ups, to see the expression on the characters face, it shows you how their feeling. they use that shot in most thrillers because they want you to feel how their feeling. the camera movement they use is panning left and right to see what is there, to show you the scenery their in. the font of the titles they is normally scary itself, they have something like '
THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT' makes it more scarier for the viewer. the colour of it is dull and most of the time black or red, red represents blood and black darkness. the sound is non-digectic and usually is used by a violin screeching, the sound of the instrument screeching sends of a scary vibe and goes with the film, they sometimes use drums, they use quite quiet music sometimes to put you in suspence. the mis-en-scene is always very dark, not very bright. it started off dark and active sometimes then goes into a bright scenery, the butterfly effect does this. its normally is a scary place such a a haunted house 'Paranormal Activity' or in the woods, somewhere scary ' cabin in the woods' and their costumes are always not very bright or their casual with rips and grases in them.
Thriller.
A thriller is made to give the audience a sense of edge, it is made to be mysterious and twisted. thrillers make tension between the film and the audience, such as films as the butterfly effect. they use excitement, suspense and tension elements. they are often scary and they influence the audience's mood alot. there are 3 main thrillers; Psychological thriller, mystery thriller and crime thrillers. the transitions in thrillers are normally fast and quick to get to another scene, which then puts you in more anxiety as the audience. the lighting of a thriller is a bit of both and dark like in the 'butterfly effect, its quite dark and gloomy at the very beginning but then it quick cuts to a nice light and calm setting of the street with greenery, but it does cut to gloomy then back to light which changes the audiences mood. there are a lot of close ups in a thriller, so the audience can see how the actor/actress is feeling, the emotions on their face. to make the shooting much more tense they would have the the camera at a tilt and make it darker, it makes you feel more edgy. when the lighting is dark, it makes the audience maybe feel sad or in a dark mood themselves, so it has an effect on the audience's emotions aswell. the camera angles are usually eye level as it tries to sort of include you into the film as well as the characters, there are some birds eye view shots aswell, so you can see where the characters are, so you can see the mis-en-scene. camera movements are predominantly still to panning slowly, so it is slow, to put you in more suspense. the titles appear bold and fast with actors names flying in and out quite fast and the beginning whilst the introduction is being played. they are made to be bold so they are recognisable. the background is normally a dull colour such as black, white or grey. the sound in a thriller is digectic and non-digectic. the non-digectic sound makes everything more tense and anxious. mis-en-scene - clothing is normally dark and dull, maybe slightly casual or smart. they use weapons and cars for the props as there is alot of action in a thriller. thrillers are usually in a city or a big place or a scary mystery place.
thrillers like to keep you guessing 'whats going to happen next' thats what keep the audience hooked.
