Finding Our Genre (Research)

Learning Hybrid Genre

My group will be deciding on making a hybrid film that blends the most unexpected genres together. We will make clear of what genres we are putting in our opening scene with some ideas in mind. But to fully understand how a hybrid film works we need to know what to show. 

 My group decided to choose two genres that would make an unpredictable hybrid film.

1. Action

Mission impossible - Rogue Nation, 2015

Action is considered the genre with the most fights and intense high missions. This narrows down to this genre only having constant action. Action genres do sometimes combine well with other genres, many movies do show romance on the side. "Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation" shows the best example of a action movie, it has stunts, its own intense plot, multiple fight scenes, and constant action. The plot of an action movie is for the main character to stop a certain group or individual that causes conflict to the main character. We were going to need to show "action" in order to express our approach on the film having action. 

2. Comedy

The Grand Budapest Hotel, 2014

Comedy is the genre where everyone laughs the most, comedy can fit with multiple genres that do not focus with the overall serious conflict of the plot but can provide many comedic actions. Normally in comedy, the film is trying to be its funniest while still providing constant story to its plot, a movie cannot just be a comedy standup itself. In "The Grand Budapest Hotel" it shows a perfect example of the humor it keeps constantly in the movie, it combines well with the drama. The comedy in the movie mostly comes from its setting that everything is visually vibrant, with the addition of characters that introduce their own quirks and humorous traits. We were going to need to introduce comedic effects to our characters that would show that the film is comedy.
