Collaboration - Scenario Ideas and Post-Tutorial Discussion

   Thinking more about The Worlds Worst, we decided to continue thinking of scenarios until our talk with our tutor about direction. Originally, we was split between the notion of silent comedy/ 1950's comedy training videos. I found an example of how the training video it would look in terms of style and comedy possibilities.

Thinking of styles in Comedy

Some of the language can be seen as sexist due to its time period.

  After a discussion with our tutor, the idea off a intrusion video around the worlds worst employees seemed a much stronger contender. This means we can concentrate on getting to know one character rather then making several, and the journey of them failing at several jobs till possibly finding the right one. In terms of theme, we decided on the 1980's. The bright colors and design would match our studio well, also in make props we can design them to be quite clunky and comical. 

  So, in terms of our character, we need to think about who they are and why they are so bad at the jobs they get fired from. 

  - Is it a physical problem(clumsy) or mental (oblivious/lazy/nervous). Do they even want the job? 

  - Will all the skits lead up to finding the perfect job? 

  - Appearance to fit the time period(or do they stick out) and the characters personality.

  - Are they hiding something (lower class trying to be upper class?).

   Additional advice was to think about jobs that was around in that time period, some of them may be different from today. Also, Model the characters personality around people that already exist (Comedians, Celebrities, etc). This will enable a photo fit vision of the character and a blending of personalities to get the right one. 

  Following this, we had a small group discussion about areas to research. I was given the task of finding jobs that was around then. Also, I found a few 1980's styled instructional videos to help gain an idea of the aestheticism. Finally, in thinking about comedy characters, I did a little profiling so to see different personality types and how some can be used in our own character.
