Genre Research Blog: Comedy

The third genre that my group will be researching is comedy.  Lighting used in comedic movies usually are three-point, high key, and low key lighting. The lighting is used to set the mood of the scenes and match the settings as well. For example, if someone is at a party, they will most likely use low key lighting to portray the fact that the characters are at a party.

The lighting is used to set the mood of the scene and match the setting. Camera angles used in drama films are low angle, high angle, and canted angle. Low angle is used to make the person appear more confident. High angle is used to do the exact opposite of what low angle does for the actor.
