The goal is to learn how to create a wider variety of media and also have some fun for our last English project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Rhetorical Analysis is an assignment where we choose a specific peice of comedic media, analyze it&#8217;s humour techniques, and then write a short essay on them. I chose to analyze the Ten Duel Commandments Meme Parody, which mocked the original song from hamilton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jacksfilms sings &quot;the ten duel commandments&quot; from Hamilton\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mvbEed1LXkI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Context<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For my humour project, I wanted to do a parody of stereotypical character tropes in movies such as Die Hard and Top Gun, so I decided to create a short video criticizing the &#8220;Action Movie Protagonist&#8221;. In order to achieve this, I primarily used the humour techniques of charicature and parody, while refering to the real source material for specific scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Script:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">~5-6ish second sections with different scenes using generic tropes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">NOTE: this is the humanistic approach to humour<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Scene list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">generic \u201cmeeting partner for first time\u201d scene (6.5s)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m ambiguously caucasian but undeniably muscular, nice to meet you\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Top gun its classified student scene (8s)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Sitting in chair, wearing aviators&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was above him and inverted, (cough cough) in my plane of course because its a scene from top gun\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Sweat (3.5s)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">be soaked in water<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIs it hot in here or is it just me\u201d -&gt; almost then cut<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Battle (3s)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In cockpit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow we can do this the easy way or the hard way\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Punches (8s)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c(hiya, hwacha, kapow) aren\u2019t my martial art impressive?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Time limited, bleeding (2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ll be back in 10 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Top gun volleyball scene (7.5s)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Cropped image of muscles on while i hit volleyball png around<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cnow here&#8217;s a beach scene that makes you question my sexuality while showing how good I look\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Doing push ups (5.5s)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">(do one, 2 secs, do another, 4 secs, down on last at 5.5 secs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">generic cocky (3s)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cairplane is my middle name.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"25 26 p9 Humor GriffinP\" width=\"563\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A1QaQY-80rE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Techniques<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When making this video, I used a green screen to crop myself out and placed myself in various backgrounds.
