Summary of Findings

Generic Codes and Conventions of a Comedy Film

This lesson and last lesson we watched members of the class present the codes and conventions that they noticed in the films which they analysed. I presented my powerpoint this lesson on the generic codes and conventions i noticed in the comedies which i analysed, it is displayed below throught the use of print screens.
















Our group also decided that we would be trying to create a Teen Comedy, this would be the easiest type of comedy to create as we have the teenagers and the setting (school) avaliable. We will be trying to create a film similar to "St Trianians", "Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging" and "Wild Child" which all are set in Britain. We feel that by creating a British Teen Comedy we would be filling a gap in the market as there seems to be a lot of American Teen comedies but few British Teen comedies, other than the ones mentioned.

Some information about Comedies in the powerpoint was researched from: Getting the Joke: Teaching The Comedy Film - www.mediaed.org.uk/posted_documents/comedyfilms.pdf
