The humor unit was about learning what techniques are used in works of comedy. We looked at a bunch of different mediums for humor such as plays, books, skits, stand-up, tv shows, cartoons, and movies. We were given so many options for styles of humor to create and a lot of examples for inspiration in that style. I chose to do a stand-up act because I knew I wanted to perform, and I think I’m funny enough for the task. I wrote my script very lack luster because I knew I needed to improvise to make it funnier. My script doesn’t have very thought out jokes, it’s mostly just the beginning, middle, and end of a joke or anecdote that I used to help guide me through telling the joke with improvised words and stylistic choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last year I slacked off before the end of the year and skimmed by in digital media by 0.9%. Getting a job and getting fired. The transformation amounting to nothing<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Walking home from school with my bike over my shoulder. How hard it was to get home. Someone calls to me and asks if i need help and doesn\u2019t give it to me.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Relying on parents for the rest of my life,, jk im gonna be rich and famous like every other film major. That\u2019s where a film degree gets you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk about how simple it is to make a movie. Go into detail about how to make a movie and how certain movies still mess it up.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n This script is clearly not very well thought out. Like I said, this script is just a guide for my brain to tell these jokes, and while there are some things I forgot to say because it wasn’t a word-for-word script, the rest of my act was made that much better by the fact that it feels more natural. At least that is the excuse I used for not writing such an exhaustive script. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
