Genre Research

Comedy

• Usually double acts or individuals whose lives fail for the audiences entertainment but who grow as characters without turning too much into a drama or action. 
• A plot is nearly always key but occasionally there will be little character development or it is very subtle so that the humour is the main focus of the film

Typical characters in a Comedy film:

Funny person/ not funny person (makes the funny person look even funnier)

The crazy person

The one who‟s always up for a good time

The boring person

Typical setting for a comedy:

Settings can be anywhere for a comedy film, however some settings contradict the fact that i's a comedy, for example; A dark forest may give the audience the wrong impression that the film is a horror film.

Examples:

Let’s be cops (2014)

Tammy (2014)

Last Vegas (2014)
