Genre Research: Comedy & Sci Fi

 

 For this research blog I had to find two other genres to write about. After quite a bit of pondering I decided the two best genre's for my writing. The two genres that I decided to write about are Comedy and Science Fiction. After action movies these two are tied for my second favorite genre. I enjoy both of these for different reasons. Comedy I enjoy for its lighthearted mood and moments that make me laugh. On the other hand science fiction is something I find very interesting. Film like star wars may not be as funny as comedy, but they hold my interest with interesting plot and out of this world scenes. These both are great for their own reasons which will be shown in the list below. 

This list is all of the research on these two genres that I compiled today. As you can see this includes CLAMPS and CAMS. Some other things that were included were my opinions on each of these genres and some examples of film for each. As shown above the CLAMPS for each genre are wildly different since both types set out to achieve different goals. The goal of comedy is obviously to entertain the viewer. The goal of science fiction however is not as clear, this can vary between movies. My favorite type of science fiction movie is one that plays out similarly to an action movie, yet uses tropes and ideas that would normally be found in sci fi. The CAMS of each genre are also very important in order to understand what they are. Once again these have many differences so it is easy to see how these movies set out to accomplish very different things. Although both these genres are different in many ways I do enjoy both greatly.

Music Video

   Here it is, the Yon Yonson music video. After quite a bit of recording and editing the video is finally here to watch. The video is basically a 20 second song looping with slight differences each time. The first time I play the ukulele in the first scene and lip sync the words of the song. After that I use a clip of a passerby asking for Yon Yonson's name.  The kind stranger who asks for Yon Yonson's name is none other than Barack Obama! Due to the lack of actors available for recording I could not do the street passerby scene. As a replacement for this I used video clips from other media and tried to lip sync them with the song lyrics. Unfortunately the lip syncing wasn't perfect due to time constraints, but It worked well enough. In the next scene I play the accordion in the same basic position as the first scene. If you couldn't tell from me playing the ukulele, you could definitely tell that I don't have musical talent from how I played the accordion. Althoug

Genre Research: Action

  This video is my PowerPoint presentation about action movies. The video above lists lots of things that are used in action films. I've always really liked watching action movies so this was my first choice of genre to write about. Most of my favorite movies are action movies so I like to think that I know a good deal about them. The first slide of this PowerPoint is about how lighting is used in action movies. Lighting is used to create atmosphere, for instance dark lighting is used to create gloomy more serious mood. Bright lighting on the other hand is used for more peaceful scenes. Bright lighting isn't commonly used in action movies since it doesn't fit with the violence taking place. The camera angles of action movies are usually dramatic in order to fit the action that's taking place in the movie. Mid shots are used quite often in order to show all the characters at once. This is done so that the viewer can see all the action that is taking place in the film. Wi

I spend quite a bit of time on my Nintendo consoles playing games like Mario, Kirby, Pokemon, and The Legend Of Zelda. Another one of my hobbies is taking care of my two cats. Unfortunately I don't do much else outside of schoolwork during my day. I also have a small YouTube channel that I create content for where I play some of the games that I enjoy.

That's basically the general happenings of my life so far but there's sti
