Genre Research: different genres

Hey ya'll,
      So today I'll be telling you about two different genres and in my next blog I will tell you which genre I will I will be using to film. So the two the two genres I will be explaining are hip hop and drama. I will be explaining the CAMS, CLAMPS, the common editing, common sound, elements of the genre, types of films in the genre, and the elements that I like and dislike. All my film examples will be within the last 7 years.
    We're going to start off with the hip hop. We're gonna start with the CAMS, the common types of shots used are:
1. Long shots
2. Wide/Establishing shots
3. Mid shots
4. Medium close up
5. Close up
6. Extreme close up
7. Over the shoulder
8. Cut in
The common CLAMPS are:
For costumes it's very simple common wear that you'd wear everyday or athletic wear such as leggings and a flannel. Lighting is usually either natural or artificial lighting if in a studio. Make up if any is very natural and minimal. Props are simply water bottles, a speaker and a phone. Setting is a studio or any open space.
Common Editing is:
1. Jump cuts
2. Cross cutting
3. Stylizing
The common sound is:
1. Diegetic
2. Non- Diegetic
3. Parallel Sound (when the music matches the mood of the scene)
The types of elements in this genre are:
1. Rapping
2. DJing
3. Graffiti on the walls
4. Freestyle dancing
5. Choreographed dancing
6. Stepping
Common films in this genre are: I will be using two of these in soon coming blogs.
1. Step Sisters (2018)
2. Honey: Rise up and Dance (2018)
3. Battle of the year (2013)
Elements that I like:
I like the passion that is shown for dance and how many people in the films strive and push themselves sometimes to prove a point other times to prove to themselves that they can do it. I also enjoy the music and the types of lighting used in more extravent films such as Honey: Rise up and dance.
Elements I dislike:
With this genre there's not much I really dislike as someone who is passionate about dance.
