Genre Conventions: The comedy genre is used to entertain people through a comedic approach. It’s main goal is to get people to laugh and enjoy what they are watching. Comedy films are targeted for all ages as anyone can relate to certain situations that may occur. In most of the comedy films there is at least one person that is known for being funny in either other movies that they have been in or from their every day life. The directors attempt to make the films relatable to the audience so that they can understand where the characters stand in the situations and fully understand what is going on.
Genre Conventions: There are many different techniques to create a comedy film. One of the main ways is through strange but funny actions that the actors do. Many of the comedic scenes occur because of something that is happening on screen rather than something that the directors added after the scene was done being recorded. One of he things that is done though is that the director leaves the camera steady during a scene and the main character will come and go off the screen. Certain movies also break the fourth wall which creates a different type of comedy film in where the character interacts with the audience.
Film sample #1- Central Intelligence is a perfect example of a comedic film as is encompasses a lot of aspects "required" for a comedy film. For starters the director decided to choose a combination of actors that when they are together can make any movie funny. Also they entire plot of the story was well written and gave lots of room for Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson to improvise and use their ability to naturally be funny together.
Film sample #2- Deadpool 2 is another good example of a comedy film although it is a different type of comedy. In this movie the actor breaks the fourth wall and begins speaking to the audience which creates a new aspect on comedy movies. The plot of this film adds to the comedic aspect because it is an action/comedy film in which he struggles to achieve his goal and constantly talks about his failure.
