2. CAMERA ANGLES, MOVEMENTS AND
SHOTS
The comedy genre often films from eye level. These
are used to connect viewers with the character and
further comedic effect. Zooms in and out are also
used to create emphasis alongside close-ups and
long shots.
To make comedic reveals, movements like pans and
tilts are also utilized. This helps build suspension for
the joke and amplified the punchline.
3. Costumes in comedy can vary from film to film. Some films have
more causal clothing for costumes while others go for bright and
eye catching clothes. The lighting is often brighter to reflect the
upbeat and happy mood of the film. Makeup used in comedy films
also follows the trend of being on the brighter side. Colors like pinks,
yellows, and oranges are used as oppose to blacks, blues, or grays.
Actors themselves may behave more whimsical and light hearted to
make viewers laugh.
While props can also vary, they will typically be something
outlandish or whacky to add to the crazy feel of comedy films.
Setting can also be random and often times are made to match the
plot of the movie.
COMMON MIS EN SCENE
4. Techniques like shot-reverse shots are common throughout comedy films.
They are used to demonstrate an unbroken conversation between two
characters. This allows the dialogue to flow smoothly, and therefore the
jokes.
Another common technique is a split screen. This lets viewers see multiple
viewpoints in one scene. With this, the use of comparison is used for
comedic effect and can convey jokes without the use of dialogue.
COMMON EDITING TECHNIQUES
5. Comedies make use of high diegetic and non diegetic sounds to entertain
viewers.
For instance, diegetic sounds like dialogue are used in comedy films to
convey jokes to the viewers. Conversations between characters are
commonly used are a vehicle to get jokes to the viewers.
However, non-diegetic like sound effects are also common in comedies. For
example, laugh tracks are commonly used to emphasize jokes in these films.

7. One element of comedy that we like are the crazy and whimsical costumes
that are used. We find these dramatic and slight caricatures that are used to
be really funny and they make the film more enjoyable.
Another element we enjoy are the sound effects. Sounds effects like sad
trumpet sounds and laughing tracks really enhances the mood of these films,
making them more compelling to watch.
We also enjoy the use of pans and tilts to build suspense to jokes. This allows
amplifies the punchline and lets the joke settle in your mind for longer. Jokes
like that make the film more memorable.
APPEALING ELEMENTS
8. One element of comedy that we don’t like is the subjective nature of
the genre. Since everyone’s sense of humor is different, it can be
difficult to create dialogue that a wide group of people would find
funny. For instance, some people may like dark humor while others
enjoy more lighthearted jokes. Finding actors who can properly deliver
the dialogue can also be an issues. If your jokes are well written but
poorly deliver, it can ruin all comedic effect.
