3 different genres!

Adventure Films:
Adventure films are usually exciting stories, with new experiences or exotic locales, very similar to or often paired with the action film genre. They can include traditional swashbucklers and historical spectacles, searches or expeditions for lost continents, epics, treasure hunts, disaster films, or searches for the unknown.

Comedy Films:
Comedies are light-hearted plots consistently and deliberately designed to amuse and provoke laughter by exaggerating the situation, the language, action, relationships and characters. This section describes various forms of comedy through cinematic history, including slapstick, screwball, spoofs and parodies, romantic comedies, black comedy and much more.

Drama Films:
Dramas are serious, plot-driven presentations, portraying realistic characters, settings, life situations, and stories involving intense character development and interaction. Usually, they are not focused on special-effects, comedy, or action. Dramatic films are probably the largest film genre with many subsets.

Analysis of another groups scenes!

I did an analysis on Clara Hwang's groups scenes.

A new student has just arrived at her new school and she feels very alone and left out. As the shots continue, it shows the girl looking very different to all the other students. In one of the shots, the new student's skin colour is a mixture of green and purple. This effect has been done using the application, photoshop. The colours are very saturated to help create the effect that the new student is strange compared to everyone else and doesn't have many friends. Their is also another shot that shoes the new student being a clock, to help illustrate to the audience what the time is and how she wants the day to hurry up so that she can leave school and not be lonely anymore. The very end shot, then shows the audience that the new student has met a friend and they are laughing together. The two school girls look like they are having fun on their lunch break, laughing to each other and enjoying themselves. The audience can see this by their facial expressions and their physical contact towards each other. It is a long shot, as you can see a full image of the girls and the camera's angle is tilted downwards a bit. The lighting is very clear and bright, so that the audience can see the subjects in the shot. The shot is set at St Hildas School at an eating spot.
