Genre Research Coach Carter

Like our movie Love and Basketball, the movie Coach Carter is very similar. They both share the element of sport and drama.The elements of this movie consisted of skilled work, conditioning, strength, regeneration, and optimistic ending. This movie was about a former player (older guy) returns to his old high school to coach the boys basketball team. He is different than most coaches though because he was very concern with the team grades and classwork just as much as the sport of basketball. Therefore, he took more disciplinary actions with the players that many people criticized but ended up teaching the kids a valuable lesson. The camera angles  in the movie ranged from eye level to low level. Low level was more used to get close ups in the basketball game and eye level was more used fro dialogue in the movie. The movie movement mostly consists of pan and tracking shot for the training and high school games of the team. The shots would sometimes be close-up but to view the gym, it would have to be a long and wide shot. Sounds in the movie was diegetic sound because it was sounds you can actually hear. For example, the basketball dribbling, the crowd going wild, and the whistles blowing. The other sounds included that of dialogue or conversation. Costumes included jerseys for the games and casual clothes, nothing formal. Not much make-up is shown or included in this movie, it has more of an natural look for the characters. The setting usually took place in a gym rather it was for training or the actual game. Also took place in the classroom to focus on grades.  The main prop and object of the whole movie was the basketball of course.Te acting varied. The coach acted more like a parent than a coach and the bystanders acted upset with the decisions of the coach. The lighting of the movie was usually dull because its a older movie and a movie that talked about hard times.
