Genre Research: Romance and Drama

Romance

Common camera shots used in romance are over the shoulder, mid-shot, close up and long shot. Over the shoulder shot is used in romance to show the emotion and body language of the actors while they speak. Close up shot is used to capture the mood or feelings of the character at the current moment. Mid-shot is used to show how the two characters feel about each other. It is used to capture the connection of the two characters. 

Common lighting used in romance is normally three-point. This is used to leave the focus on the two main characters in each scene.

Urban areas, schools with local diners are usually where romance films are filmed.

Some examples of the romance genre are 'A Star Is Born' and 'To All The Boys Always and Forever'


Drama

Lighting used in drama usually are three-point or high key lighting. 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. High angle makes the actor appear more vulnerable and less confident. Canted angle is used to add an dramatic effect on the screen. It is known to further express chaos or the madness appearing in the scene.

Camera movements used in drama films are tilt, pan, and reverse zoom. These movements are all used to further emphasize the mood in the scene

Makeup, costumes and props varies because of the different types of drama films. Drama films can include other genres and still be known as a drama because of its many conflicts and plots.

Some examples of the drama genre are 'Me Before You' and 'Dreamgirls'

I learnt how to embed my own audio in the project. I feel as if I was never introduced or told to do this project, I would have probably still have no clue how to complete that process. I also became more creative during the making of this project. I was limited to many things during this project. I did not have as many props as I thought I would. I also did not have many costumes for the music video. This forced me to start thinking creatively. In the end it all came together nicely. I also was forced to change half of my storyboard. This also improved my creativity. There are so many things that I would have done differently. One of those things that I would have done differently is film further away from the actors face. I wanted to capture more of the gardens background while filming my actor. I also would have wanted ...
