What elements do I like and would use in my video if this was my genre?

- I like how comedies are very light and easy to watch. They have very funny and witty lines when it comes to Dialogue. I like that a lot about them. If I were to make my intro to my movie.. a comedy, it would be a lot of fun to film. The lighting is always very bright and almost cheery, I would definitely film my video like that. 

What elements do NOT appeal , and I would NOT use in my video? 

- something specific that does not appeal to me when it comes to comedies.. is the costumes and outfits.  They can be very plain and not thought out, since they are usually the average person. Nothing stands out to me about them. I definitely wouldn't use the average outfit and makeup approach. Another element would be to dissolve the scenes to conenct them,  I would rather do a jump cut and make a more dramatic switch.. to be comedic.
