Here are 5 takeaways I got from this video,

Starting with the importance of fully understanding the subject matter. This will help the decision making processs, allowing the story to go down many paths while staying on the subject. Another point I got was, when watching a funny film, analyzing the context and understanding what it is that made it funny will be beneficial when applied to my film. For example, things like the camera angles, tone, and timing all help deliver a joke and these concepts can be reused. Often times comedy is funnier when it comes from a place of truth. This means, when scenarios and character desires are believable, the humor feels more realistic . Unlike when it's just looking for laughs, undermining the humor. The casting can also be important, understanding actors personalities and behaviors can be very affective when they play funny roles. As they can help deliver the humorous tone effectively. Lastly, wide shots are also very beneficial as they capture more of the physical movements that could be working with the character to create the joke.
