Visual Comedy

I watched this video around last year, but it still remains one of the best videos I've ever watched on filmmaking and comedy. Edgar Wright is actually one of my favorite directors of all time, and the Cornetto Trilogy, which this video talks about, is one of my favorite film series. The analyzation of modern comedy losing it's special qualities, becoming very lazy, is something that I feel is very true.

This also perfectly adds to our video because although our video will not exactly be a comedy, we want there to be humorous elements. The video speaks about how most jokes are now told only through audio, and mostly dialogue, but our short film will not have a lot of dialogue at all, and so we must incorporate some techniques that this video talks about into our film. We must remember that the screen is our canvas, and that every shot, every clip we use must be significant and purposeful.
