Intro~<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In English we have studied comedic techniques and their use in various examples of media. This is an area I have never been exposed to in an academic environment and was a whole new area of learning to finish the senior year. As much as lighthearted and fun humor is, this project more than any was significantly out of my comfort zone. I both hated and valued that. more reflection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proposal~<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The beginning of this process began with a humorist study and project proposal. We had to compare and analyze two comedic works relating to our project. My favorite humor is satirical. I watch Weekend Update on SNL and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. This is an area of humor I found somewhat more comfortable. I studied these two programs and analyzed their common techniques. I focused the videos I chose towards Trump because that’s what I decided to focus my project on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is my analysis: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of the examples I saw in my influences were simply presenting things Trump has said or done and letting the audience do the joking in their heads. Because I am not the funniest person, I decided to make a parody to the Carpenters’ song Top of The World, about Trump, using some of his tweets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panic!!!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All of the above work was done a week prior to me typing at this moment. All of that work and entire project, flopped. I changed my idea 2 times and both of those initial ideas lead to no finished product. 4 days before due I changed my idea a final time totally not related to any sort of political humor. I created a quarantine fashion show. Needless to say, I was not a fan of this project, its just not in my skillset, style, or comfort zone. I would say SNL is still my influence for this project as they have shifted to at home videos due to the quarantine. SNL and other comedians who are finding creative ways to deliver their content and trying to bring a laugh in this odd situation, these flexible comedians are who I was influenced by for my final product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
