Professor Weiss was sitting atop her desk as the students filed in and sat down. Once they were settled in, she jumped down and began to speak. "Welcome. I want to get started so you have plenty of time to work on your assignment. There are a wide variety of kinds of movies out there and I want to touch on a few of them in class today. It will be your assignment to research a few more or go into more detail on ." Tapping the board at the front of the room, the following words popped up:
"These are the main types of movies that are presented in muggle Cinema. I will give you a quick overview of each type and you can then use the rest of the time to work on your assignment. I have materials here for you to explore and write up a paragraph or two." She motioned to the back of the room, where a few shelves of books and magazines were set up. The materials there always changed based on the topic being discussed. "Ok," she continued taking her seat again on top of her desk, "let's get started. Comedy is one of my favorite forms of movie to see. There are a wide variety of comedies to watch, from romantic comedies to teen comedies to dramadies. The basis of the comedy is that it is funny. The humor may be sweet or crass, but the overall effect is to make you laugh and feel good. The plot is usually less intense and not very involved." "Drama is the next category I have listed. Dramas are usually a bit more involved and a bit more intense. There is a larger, involved plot. Sometimes these movies are based in literature or in reality. There is some action, some suspense as well involved in these. Many times there is romance that has some type of obstacle to finding the happy ending." "Horror really doesn't have too much plot to it, and really is not my kinda movie at all. Basically, there is a mass murderer on the loose and trying to kill everyone. The goal is to stop the murders. Not all horror are like this, but they all involve some type of guts and gore on the screen. The ultimate goal of the filmmaker is to scare you." "A musical is a movie that involves not only dialogue but musical numbers as well. Typically, there is dancing by the characters as well. Most musicals involve romance and comedy, but some can be very dramatic. The origins of movies were in the musical, taking and adapting stage productions of theater to the movie screen. This form somewhat died off for a while, with only one or two popping up every so often in the newest movies being released. There was a resurgence of them in the early 2000s, with many movies coming out based on stage productions again." "Action movies are the last ones I will be talking about. These are typically geared towards males, not that females cannot enjoy them mind you, but typically the storyline is more the kind that guys like. These movies usually involved alot of gunfire. The plot usually involves some type of 'good guy' trying to catch a 'bad guy'." Professor Weiss jumped down again from her desk and started to walk forward. "Ok. Your assignment is not a long one. I want one paragraph on a type of movie that is out there. I have provided you a lot of reference materials. Please include one movie title that would fit the type of movie you are discussing. Get to work!" She dismissed them with a smile, moving to her desk to read a novel and be available for questions. |
