I ask my parents to fill out a survey i created. All the questions are on my printed out version but this is what i found out:
On the first question i gave them, (stating why they prefer comedy over drama) they both agreed that that it's always nice to have a simple plot and a feeling of not having to follow all the drama that goes on in television series, films and any other types of media.
They also both agreed that slapstick comedy is still used nowdays. I dont want my screenplay to be a slapstick comedy, however it was nice to see what other people thought of the genre as we dont really hear about it nowdays.
They both agreed that having a ending that comedic is effective. One of my parents said it keeps you wanting more which i can agree with and the other said it gives the film more of a 'lasting impact.'
I then asked them if comedy that has a serious theme can still be funny. They both said yes. They both said that many popular television shows have touchy subjects that are still funny. For example one of my parents made an example of Scrubs. It's set in a hospital and the characters go through emotional rides with themselves but also their work.
Lastly since my screenplay is to do with crime etc I asked if they find humour in politics. One of them brought the real world into it saying 'What is there in politics nowdays?' And the other one also replied yes and how some television shows also make politcs into a funny matter, and that anything can be funny if you do it right.
