Genre Research Radio

Like our movie Love and Basketball, the movie Radio is very similar. They both share the genre of drama and sports. The elements of this movie included the setting, the audience, the plot of the story, and the theme behind it. It was a story about how a mental disabled student named radio made a huge impact on the football team and later helped them win a championship. He didn't play but he was a loyal assistant to the coach. The camera angles ranged from eye level to high level. It was eye level when people were talking or they wanted to focus on one particular football player. The high level was used to show the football team as a whole from the top angle. Which leads to say the shots in the movie ranged from close-up to wide long shots. The wide long shots were mostly used to show the football games as a whole. The movement in the movie consisted of pan movement and tracking shot. The sounds in the movie were diegetic sounds because it was sounds that you actually hear, For example, the whistles and clashing of the football players during the games. Other sounds included dialogue and 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 at school, in the locker room, and on the field; rather it was for training or the actual high school football game. The main prop and object of the whole movie was the football of course. Acting by the characters varied. The main character of the movie was the disabled students who is not disabled in real life so he had to act like it to get a point across. The others actors were either receptive of him or humiliated by him, until the end where they all appreciated him. The lightening was usually in the middle of dull and bright. For example, the football games were at night so it was dark but the field lights brought a bright lighting to it as well.
