Genre Research Action and Musical
One of the genres my group is thinking of using is the action genre. The camera angles typically used in action films are eye level and high angles. These are used to create suspense or give a better view of the setting to the audience. The camera movements typically used in action films are tracking shots, flash pan, and tilts. Tracking shots and flash pans are used during intense action scenes. Flash pan and tilts are also used to show something or a place. Typically used camera shots are establishing shots, close ups, aerial shots, and over the shoulder shots.
The action genre has a standard CLAMPS scheme. The costumes used in action films are expensive and/or meant for battle/fighting. The lighting typically used in the action genre are daylight, searchlights, and street lamps. The acting in the action genre is commonly fighting, getting pushed back, acting tough, talking with seriousness, and running. The makeup used for the main character has natural makeup, but when it comes to fight scenes, makeup is used to look like bruises and blood. The woman role has natural makeup. The villain has the same makeup as the main character, but can also sometimes have dark or menacing makeup. When it comes to the action genre's standard props, they are usually guns, knives, fast cars, and jewelry. Finally the setting, the standard places shot in are cities, built up urban areas, places with human made construction like warehouses, police stations, tunnels, casinos and banks.
The editing of films in the action genre are mostly just adding in effects, adding CGI for explosions, and using transitions between clips. Some transition examples include cuts and cutaways. Also, just normally cropping clips and adding nice touch-ups is a standard. When it comes to sounds, intense music is always important such as high drum beats. Loud sounds such as explosion sounds, gun shot sounds, running, screaming, car engines, and creaking sounds are also all standard sound effects used in films part of the action genre. The elements of the action genre are big impacts, fight scenes, lots of physical maneuvers, the strong continuous high energy, and chase scenes. These all are full of action since they are active themselves. Personally, what I like about the action genre is the action itself and the intense scenes. I also like the main character or hero role that most action films use. What I do not like, however, are the villains. They are there to spark hate from the viewers for the villain since it gives the movie more emotion. Also, the typical setting in cities and built up urban areas is pretty boring in most cases, which I do not like. The action genre is a really interesting and fun one.
The next genre my group was also thinking of using is the musical genre. The camera angles: high angles and eye level angles are very common in this genre. Standard musical genre camera movements are pans, tracking, and the arc. Conventional camera shots are the establishing shot, wide shot, and the close up. Now onto the CLAMPS, first comes the costumes. The costumes usually used in the musical genre are bold. bright, and stylish. Stylish can mean complex as well as simple, and the costumes usually match the personality the character played in the film. The lighting in this genre for example are as a standard street lights, stage lights, and the moon light. The coloring for this lighting however is also seen as lots of dark blue (R80), middle blue (R68), and no color blue (R63). The typical acting involves singing, dancing, and being happy. In musicals, as in all genres, makeup is important. Conventional makeup in musicals matches a natural skin look and makes the actors shine. The makeup options also vary from each setting and character in the film. The props used for example are chairs, microphones, and instruments. The props are mostly singing and music related. Finally, the setting convention in the musical genre are big and bright places. A city, a circus, a paradise are all excellent examples of big and bright places.
Editing in musical films is mainly editing in sounds and music. Some examples of transition edits are cuts and cutaways. Musicals, as said in the name, require lots of music to get the emotion set and the plot rolling. Diegetic and non-diegetic sounds are used as well. Adding special effects to help the lighting and the scenery shine out more are also a convention. Next is sound, and as said before, music is the key word here. The music depends on the film itself, so it varies between movies. Talking, footsteps, clapping, and cheering are some examples of typical sound effects included in the musical. The two major elements that the musical genre pump out are movements and sounds. The movements are from dancing to the music tracks, which are the sounds. Personally, what I like about the musical genre is the upbeat theme and the dancing. Musicals bring the viewers into a world of pleasant sounds and dances. However, what I do not like are the generic romantic side to it. If the romantic part is not done right, then it defeats a large purpose of the film's climax. These are the other two genres my group researched, the Action and Musical genre.
