Comedy, Action

Dunno, I like to laugh?

Both, good storytelling with crappy effects can make a movie bad, same with bad story telling and good special effects.


6.Are special effects necessary for the success of a movie / tv show? If not, what else do they rely on?
It all depends on what the movie is about.

Part of the paper is a survey that I need to do and was wondering if you guys could help me out.
All you need to do is copy the questions and put your answers below them.

Shouldn't take more than a minute.


1.What comes to mind when you think of the unknown / the mysterious?
the question to 42

2.Do you associate the unknown / the mysterious as a good thing in a movie / tv show?
yep, what movie would be good if you already knew the plot. (and what movie would be good without bad puns )

3.What is your favorite type of movie / tv show genre?
stories based on interesting lives or concepts: Forrest Gump, Early Edition
or anything that is just plain AWESOEMNE!!Z (Gurren Lagann)

4.What makes this genre your favorite?
It's interesting, not a soap, fun characters, good story, can easily be humorous

5.What do you consider more important in a movie / tv show, good special effects or good storytelling?
good storytelling. if it has a story it can keep you going, no matter how crappy it looks. rarely movies can actually exist solely on special effects (transformers)


6.Are special effects necessary for the success of a movie / tv show? If not, what else do they rely on?
it depends on the movie. if it's a war movie you'll definitely needs special effects to keep the thrill in it. if it's a romance you don't really need it.
The only thing I expect of my movie is that it doesn't use a hand camera D:

1.What comes to mind when you think of the unknown / the mysterious?

Outer Space and the Universe. As well as our origin.

2.Do you associate the unknown / the mysterious as a good thing in a movie / tv show?

Depends how well it's played, and if it's something stupid, then no.

3.What is your favorite type of movie / tv show genre?

Comedy, but with a plotline.

4.What makes this genre your favorite?

Most entertaining.

5.What do you consider more important in a movie / tv show, good special effects or good storytelling?

Good storytelling.

6.Are special effects necessary for the success of a movie / tv show? If not, what else do they rely on?

Special effects, to a limit can be cool, but also the story, the logical progression, and just the plain entertainment value are all empirical to a movie's success.
