Action
- Fights involving weapons such as guns and knives
- Set in a big/modern city such as London or New York
- Multiple deaths including that one really liked character
- Futuristic vehicles and big explosions
- Cat and mouse chases
- Villains and Heroes
- It's dependent on the type of comedy but usually set in generic places; bright, well populated towns and cities.
- The camera tends to be very naturalistic, medium shots are used generally throughout to present dialogue and facial expressions.
- There are many stereotypes, especially if teen comedy and set in a high school. You usually have the dumb person, the smart person and the socially awkward.
- Sound is so important with comedy films as the dialogue needs to be extremely clear for it to be funny.
- Three significant types of comedy; slapstick, dark humour and wit/wordplay.
- Urban environments - dark streets/ narrow alleyways and empty houses
- Often dark colours such as red and black to represent darkness, evil and blood etc
- Common mise en scene objects include masks, weapons and religious icons etc
- Lighting is expressive and non-nauralistic, where low-key lighting is used to create dark shadows.
- Always, a hero, a final girl or a villain- most commonly being a man. The hero would most likely have a mission to accomplish ideally to defeat an evil villain.
