Genre Research Joker

Genre Research Joker

   The final movie my group decided to research for our genre, crime, was, "Joker". It was about the dark side of society and the people there rising up. The first thing to review are the common CAMS, camera angles, movements, and shots. The common camera angles include medium close up, over-the-shoulder, long shots, close ups, and high angles. The common camera movements are the tilt, zoom, and tracking shot. Then, the common camera shots are the two-shot and wide shot.

   Next up, are the common CLAMPS. The common costumes shown are jackets, suits, and clown masks. These are all typical city clothes and the clown masks come from the movies theme. The common lighting is mostly dark, it is also bright sometimes. There is a lot of stage lighting, window lighting, lamp lighting, and ceiling lamp lighting. The common acting in this movie involves physical violence, laughing, acting mentally insane, not being very happy, and dancing. The common makeup is natural, but towards the end of the movie, there is a lot of clown makeup as well. The common props included are guns, signs, TVs, microphones, and clown masks. The setting is Gotham City.

   Plus, the common editing are slow motion edits, cuts, and cutaways. The common sounds are mostly diegetic, dialogue, and ambient sounds. The non-diegetic sounds are mostly music soundtracks. Examples of common sounds include gun shots, footsteps, intense music, clapping, laughing, protesting, and ambient shouting sounds. The common elements are violence, murder, and society. The features that I liked about it was the music and the dancing. What I did not like about it was the large amounts of violence and twisted messages shown throughout the movie. Overall it was a very violent and intense movie.
