Genre Research: War


Back in September, we were given a genre at random to research and create a powerpoint on. On that assignment, I worked with a partner, but for the final task, I'm working alone. In the powerpoint, we put music that matched the genre, but that can't be heard due to the powerpoint being uploaded as JPEGs. The information in the powerpoint is simple, but it helped me understand the basics of researching a genre. The genre we researched was war. Most movies in the war movie have a similar mise en scene of greys, browns, and muted greens. They also have a variety of shots ranging from wide shots to extreme close ups. The sound will often be loud and filled with diegetic sound such as gunshots, but war movies also have quiet moments with non-diegetic music. This music aims to inspire a feeling of patriotism, which is a major theme in war movies.
