Identifying Film Genres

Today we watched the opening of 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' so that we could identify the genre of the film using mise en scene, cinematography, editing and sound. For example we know that the film is a comedy due to the cheerful lighting that sets the first establishing shot. The main character frequently breaks the fourth wall, another common comedic value almost found exclusively in a comedy films.

For homework I need to find my own film opening and identify what genre it is using the 'Four technical elements' of media.
