Comedy

A comedy is a genre that combines drama and comedy together having both humorous and serious content. The majority of the worlds population likes to laugh. People laugh everyday. Watching a genre that makes you laugh makes it favorable for an audience because laughing is fun.

The audience might watch a film under the comedy genre for a variety of reasons, one of the main reasons in my opinion is to cheer themselves up. If your having a particularly bad day, you can watch a comedy and release your inner happiness from laughing.

The first silent comedy film was released on June 10, 1895. It was a short film made in black and white. As you can see comedies have been around for a long time, comedies are still around because they are fun to watch for everyone.

A good example of a comedy would be the film "Step Brothers".





Above is a short clip form a scene from Step Brothers. This clip has conventions of a comedy such as silly behavior, destruction and strange noises. This clip falls under the comedy genre because of the audience will react when they watch it, due to it being so strange and realistic. The audience begins to imagine this scene happening in real life and begin to imagine themselves watching it, there natural reaction would be to laugh.
