Conventions of comedy trailers

There are certain conventions, we need to consider if we want our trailer to convey the genre of comedy starting with;

• Using high angle shots to capture the whole environment around the character.
• editing sounds in after the filming to add or define humour.
• Using medium shots to capture the characters expressions.
• Lighting is often bright and shot during the day time.
• Bight colours are used within the title mostly primary colours.
• The characters are more exaggerated to add the 'slapstick' feel for the trailer.

Some themes of comedy include;

• Slapstick
• Romantic comedy's
• parody
• Gross-out
• screwball comedy

 Within our trailer we will use;

• Medium shots to capture the characters expression.
• Exaggerated and stereotypical characters.
• Use our music to add more humour to parts of our trailer.
• Bright colours within out text and bold text.
• Our lighting should be bright as we intend to film during the day, and hopefully pick sunny days to film on.
