My previous ‘epiphany moment’ in which happened the depths of building 9, inspired me to want to experiment with lighting to create a music video. A bunch of different shots weaved into a music sequence.

However after another consult with Paul and thinking about the end result of the idea, I realized that maybe I wanted to do something a bit different to what I know. Something which was scripted with heavy dialogue. In this new epiphany moment I wrote down almost in blog-point-form, a short rant about the current state of internet comedy and what stimulates my dormant funny bone. Its pretty underwhelming the type of stuff people are making ( the videos they make are popular so I guess they are doing something right). There’s just a formula that they apply to all of these ‘sketches’ which im sick of.

As a ‘Filmmaker’ I don’t want to make something that’s the same, I want to challenge things, perhaps prove a point. breaking away from things that are true to form is what makes good comedy. Anticipation in comedy is so important; If you already know what’s around the corner before you see it you’re less likely to get a shock.

A big influence which constantly shocks me into laughter is Adult Swim (which ill go into in another post). The content they produce is weird and imaginative. Its creative and original which is what I want to investigate in my Film.

After talking to Paul again and fleshing out a specific idea I’m going to investigate one ‘sketch’ which is filmed in only one scene. I’m going to unpack ‘ridiculous’ humour in the setting of a car park. I’ve written the start of the script which I will talk about in a later post as well.

I guess by focusing on this one scene It will allow me to devote more time and energy to producing something which is of reasonable quality; possibly add into my show reel (which is non-existent at this stage).
