Almost Friday TV: inspiration for our comedy style & form for our project. We all agreed that this type of sketch (where it generally has a basic topic and expands on it) is the type of comedy we are interested in creating.
Carl Barron: I personally love his style of comedy as exaggerated characters which is something I’d like to include in our final project.
Mr Inbetween: A great example of a show that displays genre hybridisation. Although the show is about something dark and has dark themes, comedy is intertwined throughout. I looooveeeeee this show and the way it executes comedy.
Key & Peele: Like Almost Friday TV, Key & Peele’s style of comedy sketches is what we are interested in as a group.
SNL: Funny comedy skits and (again) crazy characters.
This week, our group (me, Giorgio, Ben, Karen & Angus), began talking about the sort of comedy we are interested in creating. We came to a similar consensus that the time limit of 8-20 minutes for a sketch is a long amount of time so we agreed that we were interested in doing a compilation of a few sketches tied together with a similar concept/theme. We also created a group agreement and a group chat as a way to communicate throughout the process. We are beginning to come up with an idea for our final project together, but are not set in stone on anything yet. I am excited for the pre-production and production process coming up over the next few weeks.
