The above link is to a video that I made over the summer. It is less cinematic and more of a skit because I wrote it for a sketch writing class I took in the city. I shot it on my own spare time with a few friends/people I had met in my sketch class. It follows the structure of a sketch which consists of a game, or one unusual thing (in this case, a newscaster lives his life in his on air persona). That game is played through different beats which are different ways of exploring this unusual thing. Each beat is supposed to be more heightened than the last.
I find sketch writing to be fun and challenging. I enjoy the formula and think it is a good method for evoking more laughs, but I would like to use this method to create more of a storyline. Once that is accomplished, I would like to direct it in a visually stimulating way. I thoroughly enjoy good Saturday Night Live sketches, but they are not meant to be viewed artistically. I would like to combine this formulaic humor with artistic direction for my thesis.
