Comedy vs Horror

Rom Com/ Comedy Films

-Usually occur in a busy, urban place- difficult to film in
Several scenes in Love Actually are filmed in an airport, a busy and chaotic place.


-Need dialogue, to develop characters- therefore need good quality acting throughout (hard to find)
 Professional actors used in Bridget Jones Diary ensures character development.


-A funny, witty script is needed and it would be hard to think of original ideas
Valentine's Day


-Typically higher budget
A high angle shot from a helicopter, or top of a building is used in New Year's Eve.


-Humour can be hard to evoke from the audience
Well known actors are used in Friends with Benefits, which already adds to the comical effect.



Horror Films

-Can often occur in a quiet abandoned place- good to film in
Cabin in the woods


-Script is not as important, the audience want to see action
Nightmare on Elm Street


-Good quality acting is not a priority
Nightmare on Elm Street


-Can have a lower budget and still be convincing


-Fear is an easier emotion to evoke
