The setting is always dependant on the type of comedy that
you want to use. The most common places for a comedy sketch to occur are in
bright places, towns and cities that have a welcoming atmosphere. The lighting
in comedies is often high key lighting or natural lighting. Bright and warm
colours are used commonly to show that the scene is happy, such as blue and
yellow. The scenes are usually set in daylight. Mid-shots, close-ups and
two-shots are used commonly to show the relationship between each character,
the reactions to jokes and the main focal point of the story line.
Sound is very important within the comedy genre. Diegetic
sound such as dialogue has to be very clear to make sure that the audience can
hear all of the dialogue. Non-diegetic sound is also very important, edited
sound that is added helps emphasise the event on screen, this induces more
laughter, and most common usage of sound within the comedy genre is studio
laughter and sound effects. The trailer shows clips of a few of the funny
scenes but not all of them so that the audience don’t know everything about the
film before they watch it.
