Today I am going to be talking about comedy movies
The target audience of most comedy is people usually around 15-24, so these films if funny usually are very popular when they release, such as Home Alone which grossed over $470 million.
Comedy movies usually have the characters wear bright colors to create an uplifting and happy mood. Comedy films also include many types of sarcasm, clumsiness, and stereotyping. Comedy films often have a pause in between jokes to build suspense about the reaction from the other characters. I comedy they use a lot of close-up shots, so you can see the reaction of the joke more clearly. Characters usually have something about them that is different from the average person, so the other characters can make jokes about them.
When marketing comedy movies, the movies usually put the biggest star on the page and use a bright color for the title, like a blue. When making commercials the marketers usually use funnier scenes, because that encourages the consumer to go see a film that will make them laugh. In comedy movies there is often a funny title, for example, Dirty Grandpa.
Superbad involves three main characters, Seth (Jonah Hill), Evan (Michael Cera), and Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). The three main characters are invited to a party, but promised to bring alcohol even though they are underage. Fogell goes and buys a fake I.D with the name Mclovin. Mclovin goes with cops after being robbed and now Seth and Evan think they are doomed. Mclovin actually becomes friends with the cops in an unexpected twist. This piece is created with a parellel of two things happening at once with Seth and Evan scrambling and going to the party and Mclovin hanging out with cops, while underage. Eventually they all meet up and leave, each with a different story to tell about that crazy night. This film leaves us with some very iconic moments in comedy history, like “ I am Mclovin”
21 Jump Street involves two main characters Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko(Channing Tatum). This comedy shows the evolution of time between their generation and the younger generation. They get assigned to 21 Jump Street to try and get drugs out of school. When they were in high school Jenko was very popular, but now Schmidt is. They together infiltrate the drug trade in their school and eventually end up running from gangs in funny costumes. There are so many funny moments within this film and tons of clips that will make you laugh out loud.
