Our Genre

The genre of our film trailer is indie comedy, and possibly a hybrid of romance. We chose this because the mainstream conception of comedy films include Hollywood examples such as 'The Hangover' 'Dumb and Dumber' and 'Anchorman', which emphasises sounds and characters.

As our trailer still has the element of comedy but not as exaggerated, we're making it an indie film, as the film would appeal to a niche audience and would focus more on the artistry of cinematography.

Edgar Wright's Visual Comedy

We want to take inspiration from the way director Edgar Wright uses cinematography and editing to enforce the genre of comedy. We want to avoid simple mid and shot reverse shots, and relying on only dialogue to enforce the comedy, which many comedy films do.
