I am writing this two days following my last post. In the last blog I said we have produced videos of comedic quality. We have decided to go ahead and make a movie in the comedy genre. The three of us all have a good sense of humor, and we want to put our ideas forward. I have grown up watching Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler films, which all make me laugh. I'm a firm believer that laughter can make somebody's day better.  Comedy also makes sense for our budget, we are three high school kids and Warner Bro's won't be knocking on our door anytime soon. Wikipedia is my first source of research, I decided to do some research on the comedy genre.


Comedy is a genre of film in which the main emphasis is on humor. These films are designed to make the audience laugh through amusement and most often work by exaggerating characteristics for humorous effect.[1] Films in this style traditionally have a happy ending (black comedy being an exception). One of the oldest genres in film, some of the very first silent movies were comedies, as slapstick comedy often relies on visual depictions, without requiring sound. When sound films became more prevalent during the 1920s, comedy films took another swing, as laughter could result from burlesque situations but also dialogue.

Since this is only our second day together as a group, we may decide to change our idea in the future. As of now we only came up with the genre of our movie to be comedy. We have no script, and not really a general idea of where to go from here. We meet again in two days, and maybe something will come out of our next meeting.
