Genre research #2

For the other two genres I want to pick is horror and romantic. First with horror the common camera angles may include: high angle, close up, tilted, now angle, hand held, point of view. Now many of the costumes used are very basic except for the villain. For example recent movie IT wear "it" is in this over the top clown fit with every detail cream evil. For the lighting the may use uplighting, backlighting and spotlighting. These forms of lightings create the horror movie feeling the best. For the actors is usually people who can act like they are fearing for their life. Then they have the heroic one and of course the villain. The villain takes a special person who can strike fear and truly become what the director wants.
Now the makeup may change except for the fact there will be blood, blood is one of the biggest type of makeup used. They also have their stranded makeup for the actors. however the makeup of the villain is never the same between movies as each movie has a different villain. Props can be based on the movie and not constant across the horror movie genre. Setting will also follow this however it all may be different every location greats this feeling. A feeling that only be captured by dark tunnel or poorly light street. For editing they use all of fading into dark then faded into a gloomy place and jump cuts. The jump cut is usually the scare part of the film. One common element is to make audience feel the movie, create a sense a reality. Creaking doors, foot steps, wolf howling, owls hooting, bats, echoes voices, storm are sounds used in horror along with suspended chords on a piano to create dissonance(suspense). Now element I like is the reality of horror movies they try and create and at the same time I don't like at the same time.
Now for romantic they use many of the same things just in different ways. They may have a villain but they are not some monster but a dude who just isn't nice. they may use make the brighten the faces of the actors two make a happy feel. The angles stay the same but instead to show fear or death but to show pain or an uplifting moment. The props are going to be flowers, ring, necklaces and other nice things. The setting will never be in a dark tunnel but a glowing high school hallway. The editing may use jump cuts but they usually faded to create smooth and peaceful transitions. Now in romantic the element I don't like is the touchy feely moments cause I'm not a fan for stuff like that. Now my favorite is the underdog moments were the guys nobody thinks gets the girl and rides into the sunset.
