Genre Research Power point Project

 Coming into the class and not knowing what any of these terms meant was a learning experience. In this project, my group members and I researched a specific genre (dance) and made a power-point based on the different elements of it. In this short project, we were able to research and understand the most common concepts behind different genres of film.  The genre we chose kind of at random was "Dance."As showed in the pictures below, we added various elements including common lighting, camera angles, and common Mis en Scene. The research was sort of tough because, dance isn't really a common genre of film. We also included five common elements of dance: body, action, space, time and energy. We added examples of some films we have all watched underneath this drama, films like, Stop The Yard, Honey, and Dirty Dancing. At last we added the common sounds in our genre which include, Hardcore, techno, base and electric. Researching the sounds became difficult because there are more than 1 form of dance i.e. hip-hop, ballet, etc.. so music could vary from like contemporary music, to jazz, to crunk music.
