Genre research

http://www.filmsite.org/comedyfilms.html

When deciding on a plot and script for our project, we researched the codes and conventions of different subgenres of comedy, attempting to follow some of these; however we did not want to use excessive cliches and outdated homour. We have decided to include slapstick elements to the film, such as drunken stumbling and over the top fighting. We will use this to create an increased sense of confusion in the drunken scene, and add a touch of homour to the fight scene, which could otherwise be taken relatively seriously when compared to the rest of the film.
