Elements of the genre 

 
I like the bright costumes that are used in comedic films. The bright costumes soften the blow for some potentially heavy hitting jokes. I don’t like the heavy makeup that would be required because it would not fit the drama that we are trying to convey. Although I would like to add a couple punchlines into the scenes.
