Greetings and Salutations!
Welcome to Media TL;DR the series where I break down my greatest projects so you can easily dive in and understand my original ideas. I'm your host Jaydon Smith! And Today's topic is on researching short films made by other creators. And today's Title is Pennies From Heaven! Listed below will be my observations of the comedy genre as a whole! And will reference how this filmed used such a trait.
Common Sound
- Non-diegetic sound in the form of music is used very frequently to express a mood.
- Diegetic sound effects to show something happened.
Common Mis-En-Scene
- They pay great attention to text anywhere, whether it is on a shirt or on a menu for comedic punch.
- Outfits fit the environment, and a change of outfit can comedically show when an environment is different.
Common Editing
- There are subtitles for a language barrier joke.
- Many reverse shots to show the reactions of the sisters.
- Extreme close up used to emphasize pennies which is used for comedy.
Which Elements I Enjoy
- I love how the first character interaction we see is a joke, a bid crude, but the unexpectedness made me laugh.
- I like the small jokes, that shows a lot of effort went into making it.
Which Elements I Dislike
- Naturally the problem with comedy is that it's objective, so of course I may dislike some jokes.
- I personally don't like how sometimes jokes play out too long. For instance, one line may be a joke and there doesn't need to be someone to explain it
That's All!
That's it for this Short Film Research Blog everyone. I actually found this short film hilarious and I wish to implement some elements into our own film! I hope I made at least most of my descriptions and intentions clear. Thank you for reading! And until next time, stay cool and attractive.
