Essay Question

I have chosen to focus on essay question No.3:

How does animation generate comedy? What might be the codes and conventions and how have they evolved since the beginning of cartoons? Produce a comparative analysis of 2 films that you have seen this term or taken out of this list, and discuss how theories of humor are constructed in these films (e.g parody, satire, black humor, slapstick, absurd etc)

Keywords/points:
  • How comedy is generated? The Codes and Conventions
  • Evolution of comedy (historical)
  • Comparative analysis of 2 FILMS
  • Look at Theories of humor and explain and expand on by using examples to demonstrate theories (Theory)
