A little update...
As promised, I'm back with a more in depth look at observational comedies. Honestly, I didn't too may details about observational comedies.
Observational comedies are a form of humor based on the more common aspects of everyday life. The humor is derived from the premise of "Have you ever noticed...?" or "Did you ever notice...?" This is followed by something that is (hopefully) universally familiar for everyone, but not so obvious that it has been consciously noticed by people. Anything too obvious or obscure won't have the same comedic effect. The event has to be relatable to the audience. Observational comedy is considered to be "funny because it's true."
It includes long monologues of personal narratives. The punchline is either hard to predict or never comes.
What I've found is that observational comedy tends to be used mainly by stand-up comedians (as they're long monologues and meant to be relatable to an audience), but I think the concept of observational humor (finding humor in everyday tasks) can still be applied to my idea.
My film would be focusing on a common aspect of everyday life as it's about the struggle/process of writing something. It wouldn't consist of monologue; it would be a visual representation of what it's like instead.
Anyway, that's all for today.
Until next time...
