By selecting types of people that the audience would know it then becomes funny and induces laughter. We could also use these to create a tongue in cheek attitude in taking on the personas with added exaggeration to make comedy.]]> 2017-10-20 14:06:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lwheeler_63748/8viuyue0fjxd/wish/199063574 Tongue in Cheek Definition lwheeler_63748 https://padlet.com/lwheeler_63748/8viuyue0fjxd/wish/199069826 1. speaking or writing in an ironic or insincere way.]]> 2017-10-20 14:17:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lwheeler_63748/8viuyue0fjxd/wish/199069826 Laugh Definition lwheeler_63748 https://padlet.com/lwheeler_63748/8viuyue0fjxd/wish/199070424 1. make the spontaneous sounds and movements of the face and body that are the instinctive expressions of lively amusement and sometimes also of derision.

They could then be made to laugh about it by the way it is delivered so that then when they realise the message it hits harder. This relates to the use of catharsis to provide a release from the emotions. For example showing was as a 'game' until the very end where the audience realise the effects. ]]> 2017-10-20 14:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lwheeler_63748/8viuyue0fjxd/wish/199073754 lwheeler_63748 https://padlet.com/lwheeler_63748/8viuyue0fjxd/wish/199079046 2017-10-20 14:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lwheeler_63748/8viuyue0fjxd/wish/199079046 lwheeler_63748 https://padlet.com/lwheeler_63748/8viuyue0fjxd/wish/199079470 This clip shows ideas of how to create comedy from unlikely situations by using stand up comedians.]]> 2017-10-20 14:37:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lwheeler_63748/8viuyue0fjxd/wish/199079470 lwheeler_63748 https://padlet.com/lwheeler_63748/8viuyue0fjxd/wish/199084348 Using laughter as a medicine and a weapon?]]> 2017-10-20 14:48:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lwheeler_63748/8viuyue0fjxd/wish/199084348 lwheeler_63748 https://padlet.com/lwheeler_63748/8viuyue0fjxd/wish/199087955 Video showing stereotypical farce comedy which is a very simple way to create comedy of social situations- laughter becomes a weapon here because the audience can relate. ]]> 2017-10-20 14:55:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lwheeler_63748/8viuyue0fjxd/wish/199087955 lwheeler_63748 https://padlet.com/lwheeler_63748/8viuyue0fjxd/wish/199088777 2017-10-20 14:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lwheeler_63748/8viuyue0fjxd/wish/199088777 Laughter as a Weapon lwheeler_63748 https://padlet.com/lwheeler_63748/8viuyue0fjxd/wish/199093515 Laughter can be used as a weapon to laugh at someone/something rather than with it. Therefore another idea for our devised would be to show an issue like bullying and how the laughter could actually effect the person. This could be in an abstract style where the personalities of the bullies are then heightened. Here also techniques from Frantic Assembly could be used to show the mental state of those being bullied and how it effects them. ]]> 2017-10-20 15:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lwheeler_63748/8viuyue0fjxd/wish/199093515
