Codes and conventions of thriller films
My presentation on the codes and conventions of thriller films which includes what they have to be and whats in a thriller film that makes it a thriller
Conventions of crime comedies
Crime comedy films employ conventions such as trivializing violence and death through humor, using witty dialogue during illegal or dangerous activities, and including properties related to crime. Violence is played for laughs through clever comments or the context of the scene. Character deaths are also made humorous by how or when they occur. Witty quips and comedic dialogue are used even during fights or dangerous situations. Knowledge gaps create ironic close calls and tension between characters.
Single camera production
Single camera production uses a single camera to film all shots, which is commonly used for low-budget productions like music videos, dramas, and sitcoms. Scenes are typically filmed with all of one actor's lines together before moving to the other actor. Though more time consuming than multi-camera production, single camera gives directors more control over each individual shot and is cheaper due to only requiring one camera. The disadvantages include needing to repeatedly set up the camera between scenes and losing all footage if the sole camera is damaged.
Single camera techniques
This document discusses the key differences between single camera and multi-camera film production techniques. Single camera productions use only one camera and allow more creative control over shots, but they are more time consuming. Some advantages of single camera include more realistic shots, ability to light scenes individually, and consistency in audio tracks. Common genres for single camera include drama, horror, and period films. Multi-camera is faster but provides less directorial control, and is better suited for genres like comedy and soap operas that need quick production turnarounds.
