Comedy 

Comedy movies are my go-to when I am in need of a good laugh. The focus of comedy films
are usually shown in two ways: a composition that is made with lots of jokes or situation-comedy
which are usually told within a narrative. Comedy is a genre that is occasionally seen in a variety
of major genres like thriller-comedy, musical-comedy, and horror-comedy. The comedy genre is
portrayed with a  humorous exaggeration of a situation, the language, action, and characters.
The Character’s embodiment and role is crucial to comedy films.

The main focus in comedy films is to indulge the viewers into humorous joke or actions that
are being displayed on the screen. In other to do that comedy films uses production techniques
like Mid-shots, close-ups, point of view, two-shots, and establishing shots to tell the story. Some
of the editing that can be seen are continuity editing, reverse shot, and crosscutting. Some movies
also consolidate sound effect into scenes to add humor. Different shots offer different perspectives
of the character’s life to the audience. Editing is also really important in a film. Continuity editing is
used to change from one shot to another, it is commonly seen with point of view shots. Reverse
shot editing is common in a conversation between two characters. Finally, Crosscutting helps the
audience get a close look into something that is occurring somewhere else.
