Genre Research: The PowerPoint

In order to explore and test a different genre, my group members, Aaliyah, Lauren, and Anishkaneel, and I made a PowerPoint on the genre war. In this PowerPoint we discussed all of the aspects that are found within films of this genre. These aspects can be identified as C.A.M.S., mis en scene, editing, and sound. C.A.M.S. stands for camera angles, movements, and shots. In the PowerPoint, we described the most common of each in the genre. Mis en scene is everything that you see that makes up a scene. These can be identified as C.L.A.M.P.S. It stands for costumes, lighting, actors, makeup, props, and setting. When discussing editing, we described the most common ones for the genre; we did the same process when discussing sound. To add on, in the PowerPoint we also discussed the elements that we did and didn’t like. Overall the PowerPoint was a very helpful and constructive tool to help us explore another genre.
