But the idea that any group of friends or improv-class buddies can grab a camera and make a comedy short that goes \u201cviral\u201d is entirely new.<\/p>\n<p>So, while there&#8217;s a lot to dive into as to what makes a video funny (that probably can\u2019t be defined in a single article), here&#8217;s a guide to finding the funny and creating quality comedy shorts and videos.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"coming-up-with-fresh-ideas\">Coming up with Fresh Ideas<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Dd7FixvoKBw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>So, when I was personally shooting comedy shorts, it was with a group of friends from the improv class that I was taking. The improv school put together a monthly video content where they would give us one word as the prompt, then the individual groups would have to take that and use \u201cA to C\u201d mentality to create whatever they wanted from there.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite part of the process were these first meetings. We\u2019d meet up at a coffee shop with notebooks and just do free association and spitball, sometimes for hours. The goal, at first, isn\u2019t to come up with a solid concept. It\u2019s simply to explore ideas and \u201cfind the funny,\u201d so to speak.<\/p>\n<p>A good brainstorming session doesn\u2019t have to be done with a group, though. You can do free association with just yourself and a piece of paper. Ideally, once you&#8217;ve spent enough time on what you think sounds and feels fresh and funny, you can start putting those ideas to paper by planning your outline, script, and shots.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"multiple-takes-and-improvisation\">Multiple Takes and Improvisation<\/h3>\n<p>Because of the nature of comedy, it\u2019s helpful to go into production with the idea of being flexible. You never know what funny idea might develop once you start filming. However, it also helps to have a good backbone to your production with a set shot list.<\/p>\n<p>I often found that the best way to work was to cover your bases first and make sure you have every shot you\u2019d need to put together an edit. Then, once the rigid work was done, to loosen things up and do as many takes as you can stand, while encouraging improvisation and new ideas to flow freely.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"the-importance-of-reaction-shots\">The Importance of Reaction Shots<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0RDUgMKG3_M?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Another simple trick that can help out in the edit is to shoot several reaction shots. Comedy very much lives in faces. If you look at the comedy silent film classics, a well-timed reaction shot is the perfect way to make a joke land. When shooting, it just takes a few minutes to ask your actors to try a few more faces, to varying degrees, which you can hold in your back pocket as you begin to construct the humor in post.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"editing-for-timing-and-pace\">Editing for Timing and Pace<\/h3>\n<p>Moving on to editing, comedy shorts are often very, very fast. Yes, if you&#8217;re doing a stylized lampoon or parody of something, sometimes it&#8217;s great to be slow on purpose. But, generally speaking, comedy lends itself to rewarding the quickest of wits. There are plenty of tricks to keep the pace up, and a lot of it comes from the edit. If you&#8217;ve done a good job of shooting lots of angles and reaction shots, this can be a great way to build pace. Quickly cutting between speakers while dialogue ensues can create action and movement.<\/p>\n<p>However, don&#8217;t get too caught up with speed, as you&#8217;ll still want to try to subtly build the timing for certain jokes to land. Here are some good articles and interviews on the art of comedy editing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/tips-cutting-comedy-comedians-cars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Tips on Cutting Comedy Projects from <em>Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/8-comedy-techniques-edgar-wright-does-right\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">8 Comedy Techniques Edgar Wright Does Right<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/interview-editor-sundance-before-you-know-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Working with Comedy and Drama in Sundance\u2019s \u201cBefore You Know It\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"where-to-upload-and-share\" class=\"img-wrapper\">Where to Upload and Share<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PyaZxrN_gM8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As mentioned before, making comedy content in this day and age often requires much more than just uploading a video to YouTube.
