Genre Research: A Star Is Born

                                      Genre Research: A Star Is Born

•What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?

This movie is within the drama and romance genre. This movie was able to exquisitely use film production techniques to make it clear to the audience that these were the genres that the movie was produced within. In this film there are many close up angles to help capture the intensity of the actors feelings. in the film “A Star Is Born” many emotions are portrayed as anxiousness and hurt. The camera movement was to help capture the scene as if it was a real life experience for the audience. The camera moves throughout the setting to make the audience feel the inspiration and emotions of the atmosphere created in the scenes. Since this movie is about a couple who goes through the years together, there are many two shots involved. This brings the best emotion out so that the audience could experience the feeling they have for each other. These techniques used by the producers used made me more informed on techniques used within this genre.

 •What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like?

"A Star is Born" is a recently released film starring Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. I cannot begin to explain the intensity and emotion I felt whilst watching this movie with my eyes glued to the screen. Bradley Cooper (also one of the main actors) truly outdid himself when directing this movie. The emotional intensity that I felt while watching this movie really drawed back to the drama genre and romance genre. These genres are known to cause its audience to really form an emotional connection to its movies.

•What elements of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you?

Within this movie there were really no elements of the drama/romance genre that did not appeal to me. This movie was perfectly directed. Also the dialogue, camera angles, diegetic sounds, music, etc., were all perfect within this movie. The directors and producers did an amazing job making this movie.
