What we need to consider when developing our film

When developing our film we need to consider the audience beforehand. For example, due to the fact it is a comedy we need the audience to be laughing at certain things within the film. For example in the scene where we are going to have our main character struggling to run we are going to make it look like the actor is dying as this will make the audience laugh, also because it is a dark comedy the audience should laugh when they really shouldn’t be, for example the statement above. Also we need to consider the use of lighting, camera, and costume.

The type of camera angles/shots you see in a comedy;

·         The camera is very natural and follows the characters.

·         Usually high shots are used in a comedy to capture the whole event that is happening in that scene.

·         Medium shots are used in a comedy to catch all of the characters expressions within the shot.

The use of lighting is important within a comedy as you do not want a dark atmosphere as this means that it will be showing generic conventions of a horror. Therefore within a comedy, you want to see light, spacious areas to film as this is what you typically see in a comedy. Also we need to consider whether the lighting is appropriate for the audience to see it visibly. For example;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Costume is also another thing that we need to consider when developing our film as we do not want to use the completely wrong costumes as the audience will get confused as to what genre it is. Therefore in order for the audience to understand the genre we are going to have our actors wearing not really bright colours but a variety of different ones however our main character will be wearing black as this shows that he is the one for the audience to focus on.
