Taking a look at Comedy

 Hello, my loyal listeners! I am back analyzing another blog which is comedy this could potentially work with the movie having a comedic plot twist.


CAMS

High and Low Angles: These angles can be used interchangeably to give some characters powerful or weak stands, even if it's earned.
Close-ups: To capture subtle facial expressions and reactions, often for comedic effect.
Zooms and Pans: Used for emphasizing physical comedy or unexpected elements in a scene.

CLAMPS

Bright and Colorful Costumes: Often used to enhance the overall mood and highlight the lightheartedness of the genre.
Natural Lighting: Creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Exaggerated Acting: Over-the-top performances are common for comedic effect.
Minimal Makeup: In many cases, makeup is used subtly unless specific comedic effects require more dramatic makeup.
Setting: Relatable and everyday settings, though depending on the heart of the film, the world may take a more wacky form.
Props: Props that can be used for physical comedy.

EDITING

Cross-cutting: To emphasize the reactions of characters in comedic situations.
Split-Screen: Utilizing this could result in some comedic moments.
Action Match: This could be used to create montages, which then could be used for comedic effect, showcasing a series of funny events in a short time.

SOUND

Lots of Non-Diegetic sound

Upbeat and Playful Music: Enhances the comedic mood.
Sound Effects (Sound Motif): Used for physical comedy and accentuating humorous actions.
Well-timed Silence: Effective for punchlines and comedic pauses.

EXAMPLE FILMS

Ant-Man: The basis for this Final Pitch.
Night Club- One of my favorite comedians Kevin heart goes back to highschool.
Night at the Music: Another movie with high stakes, but it utilizes many comedic elements to make this a funny movie.

ELEMENTS I LIKE

Clever Wordplay: I appreciate smart and witty dialogue.
Physical Comedy: Well-executed slapstick and physical humor, but mostly only if it's animated.
Relatable Settings: Comedy grounded in everyday situations and relatable experiences are always a plus to me.
Character Quirks: A character that has a repeated quirk that's amusing and creative is always funny to me.

ELEMENTS I DON'T LIKE

Swearing/Cursing: I don't like bleeping comedy or raw swearing comedy.
Excessive Toilet Humor: While some can be funny, on VERY rare occasions too, an over-reliance on bathroom humor can be very off-putting.
Degenerate Humor: Like the previous one, this can be funny sometimes, but seeing unnecessary risque scenes is a turn-off.

Planning Blog (Title Design)

Image
Hello, my loyal listeners! I am here to explain my title design!  The opening credits for my film will be jagged white with blood dripping at the end of some letters. This is to give an ominous atmosphere to not suggest what will happen. The font title will be "Got Heroin"  and the job titles will be either "Jokerman" or "Impact". Working title: Betrayal It will be a scary font that must be in all caps. Titles will all be in the same set of fonts, with all the titles of positions in the same font, and the names of the position holders in the same font Titles will fade in and out Titles will stay for 2-3.5 seconds The font colors will be either a blood red or a white/gray color. The name of the job will be 3 font sizes smaller than the person holding the job.

Approaching The Spooky Editing Time!

  I know you all didn’t miss me that much. How could you? I was only gone for a little while this time! As you all know, we have filmed most of our music videos, and our next step is to start editing. But before we do that, we need some critiques so during my swim meet I was able to show my music video to some of my teammates. We mostly received positive feedback! Renato and I were extremely happy with this field test. We were told that we could tell who the characters were and that our group filling in roles was not really a problem. We were told multiple times our acting needs a lot of work but come on what do you expect ? I ain’t no Denzel Washington or Tom Hanks ! Besides that, they said which shots to use out of the multiple takes and they were typically the ones we chose as a group. Our new challenge is to edit. The pr oblem is we are not quite sure which editing software to use. There have been multiple debates about using something besides caput so the produc...
