Genre Conventions - Mise En Scene - COMEDY





COMEDY

In a comedy film, the soundtrack would be more upbeat and positive as opposed to the sinister tracks that are used more often in action films or thrillers. The lighting in a comedy film would also be potentially brighter as to reflect the mood and tone of the film; the brighter, the happier.

The make-up that's shown in comedy films is also usually more clean and colourful as opposed to the gritty, darker coloured make-up. This make-up technique is also used to set the tone of the film, making it seem more light -hearted and positive.

The costume designs in comedy films can vary. Although the films don't necessarily require certain shades of colours in order for them to be a success, some comedy films do use bright colours with lots of vibrancy in order to portray a sense of spontaneity. A great example of this would be the clothing and make-up used on Jim Carrey in the film, "The Mask".




Props in comedy films can vary in accordance to the tone of the film. Although, the most common kind of props are usually whacky or wild-seeming as to add to the "crazy" theme that may be involved with the film.
