Genre Research: Diary of A Mad Black Woman

                     Genre Research: Diary of A Mad Black Woman 

Diary of a Mad Back Woman is a dramedy film released in 2005. When it came to balancing between comedy and drama, the movie leaned one way. It was dramatic throughout but did have comedy elements in the movie. Drama element was well written out with the main character having her high life uprooted having to return to her humble beginnings. Now when it came to comedy the main character, Madea, stepped in with her outrageous antics. Now the character-building element was good. The main character pulls herself up after a life of depending on her husband. A new love interest is introduced. The ex-husband is given a second chance at life and flips his attitude and position towards the main character. Now when it comes to the reality of plot, its half believable. A woman strong enough to be independent, find a new love and get rid of a toxic relationship is believable. The antagonist being shot and abandoned after the fact is slightly unbelievable. The idea of Madea is slightly unbelievable when it comes to the activities she does, like chain sawing a couch. I mean in different backgrounds and for a specific audience this may be more of a reality for some than others. But not everyone can relate to the movie which is probably the reason it did not do well with critics. Although for the audience it did surprisingly great. A lot of people found it entertaining, as did I. Of all the dramedies I have researched this is 2nd on my list when it comes to rating. Below is the movie poster for the film. Thank you for the time.

I started the opening of the play with a gradual opening to create a bit of suspense but, also to give the audience some time to get ready. The added track shot also adds a feel of the audience being their walking with jack, it's overall more intimate. Then after the track shot, there is a fast shot of the play and or movie getting straight to the point. (starting the show) The black screen transition is untimely to show the audience that one scene has ended and that was moving on to something else. This helps with older audience viewers as well guiding them to the next scene. The close-up shots added also add drama with it being a shot that happens out of nowhere. Also, the back and forth shots of jack's pacing add suspense as well to over exaggerate the feeling that's taking place. The showing of the clock or time passes by as creates more drama that keeps our movie and or purgative on the right path. On what we ultimately wanted our theme to be. The medium shot adds a se...
