My Humorous Monologue

Greetings everyone to my second blog post for our "Humorous Monologue" project! Well I've learned a lot from this project but the absolute hardest thing for me during this project and I still haven't learned how to do this perfectly yet, is spell the word MONOLOGUE! I will write it out and I still never got it right spelling it on the first try. I've been using spell check EVERY SINGLE TIME. Well other things that I learned from this project that is probably more important to learn is learn different ways on how to make people laugh. Some ways that I learned this is insulting yourself because sometimes you may be the funniest thing you know, also having something thats original and not laughing at your own joke when you are telling it (most of the times.)

Pad. Pad is basically the thing that Mr. Sanderl will get a little crazy about because we kind of forget to use pad a lot no matter how many times he tells us even though it is really important mwahaha. No but f'real pad is actually when you film something like a voice over or audio or b-roll but before any of the action starts. Its is also filming a couple of plain seconds so you have extra room to help you when you are editing to help overlap video or have extra video when editing. You pad or put extra room in front and in the back of your video before and after the action starts. Padding your clips are also very crucial because you don't want to hit record on a camera and have the action start automatically because the camera usually doesn't start right when you the record button it might take a couple of seconds and you wouldn't want to make a mistake of not recording what you need or accidentally cutting it out.

Some improvements that I would surely like to change for this project with the help of some more time is putting more effects to my project because I feel like I have the minimum requirement right now. Also I could've gotten more b-roll and better b-roll to cover up my face in my monologue . The biggest weakness I had with this project was coming up with an idea of what to do. I sent the first few days on this project staring at my screen and looking up joke examples on a computer because I didn't know what to tell about. But a few days later Tim started making fun of my toes and then it hit me. I should write about my toes! If you ever have a comedy project you need to do just think about yourself and maybe theres a funny story inside of you. :)

Check out my pictures below, Peace y0..



So it turns out my comedic video was the 3rd best in the class and no I did NOT vote for myself. In this pic where it says overall funniest video my part in the pie chart got 16.1 % of the class votes (5 votes) so I'm pretty happy!



I think the class assessed me pretty well but I wanna know who the one person is that gave me a 2...

This is my Joke plan where I figured out what my monologue would be about and how to plan it out.
