(90) What Makes a Movie Funny? — How to Write, Direct, and Edit Comedy - YouTube
Comedy is a crucial form of story telling. There are many types of comedies that caught my attention from this film. Here are the main 5 listed below.
1. Satire comedies. These require deliberate writing that effectively display irony. The definition of the word satire is the art of making someone or something look ridiculous, raising laughter in order to embarrass the subject.
2. For romantic comedies the humor revolves around the most universal experience, finding love. This includes many disasters and heavy emotions, which then lead the main character to make decisions based off how they feel. Most times, those decisions affect them later.
3. Buddy comedies are when two characters have traits that continuously conflict with each other. It's also very important they have good chemistry to ensure the friendship feels genuine.
For example, in the "Rush Hour" movie, Carter and Lee is a perfect example of a buddy comedy. They both have completely different traits and don't speak the same language but still work well together while still having those funny conflicts along the way.
4. Next, the Farce genre focuses on exaggeration to create humor. This genre uses crazy storylines and over the top characters. This form also has complex plots which encourage viewers to pay attention to the story, not just the humor.
5. Lastly, Slapstick. Which rely on physical humor. Often times, including a character stuck in exaggerated physical activities.
So far I think me and my group are leaning towards the satire or romantic side of comedy. This is because we feel more interested to it, as it seems more entertaining.
