After watching 'American Pie, The Naked Mile'(ap) and 'Rush Hour'(rh) myself and the other members of my group have come up with certains aspects of the genre which will help and aid us when it comes to creating our film project.
For instance we will be using a 'flawed' character in our film, in ap the main protaganist is a senior high school student verging on going to college with his life sorted......except for one thing, he is a virgin. Many comedies are based around flawed characters as they are easy to base jokes around, although in many instances the stories seem to be sex based.
In the opening of our films we found that it inroduced all the main characters from the storey and gave a brief description as to what type of character they were, later we were introduced to 'Mike 'Cooze' Coozeman'...a self proclaimed ladies man, 'Ryan Grim' Eriks football playing best friend who can have any woman he wants, in the beggining though we are introduced to 'Erik Stifler' a boy cursed by his name and his legacy.
The use of cuts in the opening scenes help to add pace in the opening and thus cause humour to arise. such as when we are introduced to the characters, or when Erik is spanking the monkey to his 'dumpster porn'. The fast cuts between the porn, Erik and his parnets coming home add humour as the audiance knows what is about to happen.
