Lecture 4

Lecture 4 was short lived. A short run through on the history of moving images and films and we were onto watching some funny videos.

The first, 'Troops,' was hilarious! A very smart idea to merge 2 really famous viewing titles! It was funny to watch the way they made Stormtroopers act like the cops from Cops. A certain moment I remember is when one of the Stormtroopers/Cops is being is explaining why he does this job and if he likes it etc. It is really funny to see a Stormtrooper talking like one of the cops off Cops. I would rather watch this Parody then watch Cops any day and I find it quite hilarious that someone else finds Cops a tad bit ??? silly. I even watched the 'Troops' video in full when I got home. Was a pity that we had seen the best during the lecture.

The Awesometown video of the introduction was quite funny as well. I found it especially funny when the group , who I found out to be Lonely Island, are introducing themselves. The one who refers to himself as ' the sensitive one,' Jorma, has the funniest introduction. He tries to look like a 'gangster' in his introduction. After his intro his friends look at him in a funny way but then they all return to singing the them again. These videos are both good examples of entertaining communication and they should help us with the films we have to make.
