To continue my genre research I have been researching films that me and my partner have decided are the vibe, genre, and feel of a film that we want to give in our short film!
But I'm a Cheerleader (1999), directed by Jamie Babbit, is a comedy/romance movie that follows a high school cheerleader named Megan. Megan thinks she is the picture perfect American girl, she’s a cheerleader dating a football player who excels in school. She is shocked when she finds herself in an intervention made by her parents and friends because they think she is a lesbian. They then send her to "True Directions", a conversion camp where she meets a girl named Graham, and they fall in love. This movie is more of a romance but the comedy in this film is incredibly notable. Our sort film wants to have these two elements, a comedy but with that subplot of romance. Another great quality about this film is the visual aspect of it. The colors and the mise-en-scene of this movie are chosen to create a sort of typical almost satire vibe of a classic cliche romance movie while bringing up serious topics through comedy. I admire this film and want to use its use of mis-en-scene and subplot of romance to inspire our project!
Theatre Camp (2023) is a comedy/drama directed by Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman. It is a mockumentry on one summer of a theatre summer camp in upstate New York with eccentric and passionate staff members after their beloved founder fell into a coma. This movie is so well made on the comedy aspect of it. The jokes are subtle but so smart and the delivery by the cast is amazing. The characters and their personalities make the movie and i want that in our short film. I also want our short film to give off a satire comedy vibe but also be its own thing a mix of many genres if you will!
