For our final English unit at Freestyle, we studied humor. We started this unit by reading Kurt Vonnegut’s semi-autobiographic science fiction-infused anti-war novel, Slaughterhouse-Five. Being a class clown myself me and my friends began to study the different forms of humor techniques that were used throughout Kurt Vonnegut’s Novel, Slaughterhouse-Five. Using this as inspiration for our ideas we came up with the idea of making a parody music video
Needing help to make a parody music video come to life, I partnered with my friends (Pedro and Erik) to create a Kanye West parody music video talking about all the issues Kanye West has as well as the problems he has caused because of these issues. It came out to be a very exaggerative music video parody filled with many jokes about Kanye West as well as us acquiring a look alike make of Kanye West that we cannot say where we purchased it from.
Here’s a better look at our script below:

Reflection
The Humor Project was something I valued a lot at Freestyle Academy. It opened my eyes to value these kind of projects humorist create. I loved getting to be creative and use any sort of school appropriate humor for this project. This project allowed me to better my video editing skills in Adobe After Effects and also allowed me to use my creativeness to create a script that was funny to me and my friends. Hope all of you enjoy my humor project thank you!
