Are you bored? Get rid of your boredom by making videos! Making funny videos is a fun way to entertain you and your friends. However, you may have a hard time making videos because you don't have any funny ideas. Basically anything can be funny. Some people find pain a funny thing. Others may think that shrill noises or scary things are ridiculous. Everyone has their own opinion about funny things. Therefore, making a video that can grab everyone's attention and make them laugh is impossible. However, you can try to make a video that can grab someone's attention. Read this article and you too can make funny videos that you can share with your friends.
Step
Step 1. Find a crew and actors or actresses
You need a cameraman, actor or actress, director, and writer. The actor or actress involved in making a video must understand comedy or like to joke around.
Step 2. Find and discuss video ideas
Once you get an idea, tell the crew what you think and ask for their advice. If you are satisfied with the idea you have, go to the next step.
Step 3. Watch a comedy with the crew
You can get inspiration from the movies you watch. However, you should not copy the film. Instead, you learn what the film did or failed to do to make the audience laugh. Also, pay attention to the techniques used in filmmaking that make the film funny.
Step 4. Choose a shooting location
The shooting location is adjusted according to the script. You can take pictures in simple places, such as the living room, kitchen, or even the hallway. However, if the script is getting more complicated and requires a lot of acting, you might want to choose a location that fits the movie scene, such as a park, a business district, or a place with a nice view.
Step 5. Write a movie script
Anyone who is good at writing and making jokes can get involved in this step. Share the script with the crew for suggestions that can improve the quality of the script.
Step 6. Be prepared to apply any improvisations that appear in the shooting process
Even though scripts are the main guide to making a film, the actor or actress may have their own way of making the film funnier. Therefore, you must be quick to apply the idea of an actor or actress to the film.
Step 7. Encourage the actor or actress to improvise in the shooting process
Many funny scenes in films are produced by improvisation by actors or actresses.
Step 8. Try to remember a funny incident that happened in the past
You can use a joke that happened in the past as a video idea. However, if the joke is only understood by certain people, you should not use it because the audience may not understand it. If you remember a funny incident, try to include it in the script.
Step 9. Start taking pictures
When the shooting preparation is complete, you can start taking pictures. Make sure you have a director who understands comedy so he can provide direction to the crew as well as the actors or actresses. In addition, he must also be able to direct the actor or actress not to laugh and help him live the role.
Step 10. Edit the video after taking the picture
You can use simple software such as iMovie (for Mac) or Windows Movie Maker (for Windows). In addition, you can purchase other video editing software if needed.
While some scenes may seem funny to you and your crew, the audience may not necessarily see them as ridiculous. Therefore, edit the video carefully while adapting the content of the video to the tastes of the audience
Step 11. Share the video
If you want a video that can be watched by as many people as possible, upload it to a video-sharing website like YouTube. Check the uploaded videos regularly to see what viewers think.
Tips
- Don't laugh while taking pictures. The jokes may be funny and you may not be able to hold back your laughter. However, laughing at the shot will make you look unprofessional and sloppy. Therefore, you have to be serious throughout the shoot. Even if the video tells a nonsensical story and the dialogue sounds embarrassing, the actor or actress must still be serious and act seriously. You'd better laugh to your heart's content before taking the picture.
- Make sure everyone likes their job. If the actor or actress doesn't live up to her role (especially if she doesn't like the role), her reluctance will show in her acting and the video won't look good.
- Use stuff, sound effects, pictures, and more to improve video quality.
- Singing a song can make a video funnier.
- Anything the camera shoots looks funnier, even if the video quality isn't that great.
- Get inspired by the comedies you watch. However, don't copy it. Viewers are not interested in watching videos that plagiarize other people's work and will not laugh.
- Make sure you edit the video after taking the picture. If it is not done, the audience will feel bored with the content of the video.
