Genre Research (Epic)

In the first quarter of this class we had to do this project. We were each assigned a genre and did a PowerPoint on it. The genre I was assigned was Epic. I had to research the elements are commonly found in this genre. For example the common lighting, sounds, camera angles, and so forth. I explored a variety of movies in the Epic genre and found common conventions and standards. The project gave me insight into what makes a genre what it is and how the different elements in a film work together to produce the end result.
