Whats the worst that could happen?
Video # 2
Joke 6
For the first joke we set our characters in a modern bar. A man tries to hit on a woman at the bar but is abruptly rejected. The girl then apologizes and explains she is doing a study on how people act in embarrassing situations. The man responds by yelling “No I will not pay you for sex,” at the girl.
For the second joke we took a script that was rather similar to the first but added a Charlie Chaplin, black and white, silent movie feel to it. Two friends are at a bar discussing how hard it is to get a date and one of the characters is rejected by a woman at the bar.
During joke one, we managed to manipulate the rhythm in the shot by the repeating sight of bottles in the bar. Also, we used lines (the siding of the building) to draw the eye to Steve’s character leaning against the wall. Since we used the same set for both videos, the lines and rhythm of the second video were the same. We used tension and release in the first video, in the scene where Steve’s character walks up to Maggie’s character and asks to buy her a drink. The tension builds as he awkwardly hits on her and then releases when he walks away. We also used it in the second video where Nick’s character goes up to Maggie’s character. Text and subtext was also used in this video. When Steve’s character yells “No I will not pay you for sex,” ht really means that he is just pissed off at Maggie’s character for using him as part of her experiment. Same as in the second video.
